dini2.inc
Updated: v3.1 (10 March, 201
Improved version of "dini.inc" with high performance and same syntax!

INI is mostly used for initializing data to your server. But i have seen many gamemodes/filterscripts still use this old library which is very slow/inefficient in today's time, so i though of making an improved version.

How this works?
Well it works with arrays. The files' data is read once when you use any "Set" function of dini. A timer starts which will free the memory of that file later after 'n' milliseconds. So unlike original dini, this one don't open and close a file everytime we use a Set/Get function. It works exactly like SII but with the ability to operate multiple files at a time.

Benchmark

Quote:

* Dini2.inc Writing 100 files with 64 fields, 3 times takes: 333 ms Reading 100 files with 64 fields, 3 times takes: 132 ms * Dini.inc (old version) Writing 100 files with 64 fields, 3 times takes: 36485 ms Reading 100 files with 64 fields, 3 times takes: 1835 ms

Its like saving 100 players data 3 times all at once (64 fields each file)!

Benchmark Source-Code
You can use this code to perform tests with other INI processors to compare results!

How to compare results with original Dini.inc and Dini2.inc?
First compile the script with "#include <Dini2.inc>" and then run the samp-server.exe.
Second test, replace "#include <Dini2.inc>" to "#include <Dini.inc>" and compile. Run samp-server.exe.

You have result for both. Dini is way way slower than new one. Don't run test on 500 files for Dini.inc, it will hang up or you have to wait for hours to get results lol!
