VB6 Checkrevision On Smack

[Ringo]

hmm, I got bored again :p
I read HDX's post in the C++ forum, and it got me thinking:
http://forum.valhallalegends.com/index.php?topic=17719.0
Since I wrote an ASM class for vb6, I thought id see how fast I could really get VB6 CheckRrevision moving!
Ive been comparing it with BNCSutli.dll, and got it moving 2 times as fast
I'm posting it here incase anyone want's to add it to their bot.
You can download the test project here: VB6Checkrevision.zip
You will need to paste Warcraft3 binary's into the same directory as the project, since they are not included in the zip.
Here's some out put's compared to BNCSutli.dll's:

VB6 Check revision:
   Time     = 93ms
   Checksum = 0xB268CECB
   Version  = 0x11600B8
   Info = war3.exe 08/19/08 12:58:06 471040

C++ Check revision:
   Time     = 203ms
   Checksum = 0xB268CECB

The project/code is abit of a mess, so you might want to clean it up before useing it.
1 Main advantage of this, is it runs just as fast in debug mode, as it does compiled!
All suggestions are welcome, but please note: I know the code is a mess

nifty, how fast with the rest of the clients, average time over multi tests.

You're comp > My comp

How so? :p
Besides afew API's, it's all native VB6

nifty, how fast with the rest of the clients, average time over multi tests.

uh, Ive only tested it with W3 because of their large binarys
But heres some average times for 100 loops of checkrevision.
I did it about 5 times on both, and wrote down the best average time:

Hmm.

Sounds like a hard-drive thing, or w/e causes lag when you 1st run somthing that reads large amount of data from HD.
If you ran BNCSulti 1st, it would have also taken a few seconds to do.
Try it a few times

Oh yeah, now it's faster. 31ms vs 125ms...

Interesting. Good job!
