Do big includes affect the performance of a program?

f_roels — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 07:20:51 GMT

Hello,

We are using an include (CRM_DIRECT) which has about 45 other includes (sub includes), the includes containts constants. We are wondering if it is better to include a sub include, when using a constant from only that sub include, then using the global include? Does this make a difference in performance or optimizes SAP this when compiling?

With regards,

Frank Roels

It doesn't affect the performance of the program but of course you are "wasting" memory which can affect the overall performance.

Hi,

if you are using a "big include" then it will be declaring lots of tables,structures,types etc...which needs memory allocation.Directly including a parent may reduce work but again memory wastage will cost you performance in overall running time....
