2. Optimize string handling in VB6 - Part III [article]

Processing strings with Visual Basic 6.0 can get considerably faster if you know the tricks. This article studies the performance of the functions Left, Mid and Right in detail. We learn to quickly examine individual characters with Asc and AscW. We check out the differences between Asc/AscW and Chr/ChrW. We also see how a badly placed pair of extra parentheses can degrade performance.

3. Optimize PDF files - Part II [article]

Your applications can write incredibly small PDF files if you know what you're doing. Users expecting multimegabyte PDFs will be pleased to find out your application requires only tens of kilobytes, even just a few kilobytes, for a simple PDF report. This article is for programmers who create PDF files programmatically using custom routines.
