Appendix C  Optimizing Transact Applications 

This appendix suggests ways you can optimize the run-time efficiency of
Transact/V applications that run under MPE/V. This will be of special
interest to experienced Transact/V programmers who are responsible for
large applications.  How to fine-tune individual programs is a very
application-dependent problem, but the guidelines presented here should
help you make some of the trade-offs.  The material focuses on minimizing
stack space and maximizing processing speed.

The following topics are discussed to help you optimize your Transact/V
applications:

   *   Run-time stack, including a discussion of the components that make
       up the stack

   *   Compiler statistics

   *   Single-segment programs

   *   Multiple-segment programs

   *   Using CALL without the SWAP option

   *   Using CALL with the SWAP option

   *   Stack usage comparison

   *   Processing time optimization
