Conversion form Binary to Ascii Text
Hi,
I developed a tool which converts the binary formatted log reports to ascii format on windows.I have all the code in the Expert Exchnage portal..Here is the link to it..
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22110125/Porting-from-unix-to-windows.html
Here every thing works fine and gives the desired output but the issue here is it takes lot of time to convert one log report..nearly 4-5 minutes of time and it is also making the system slow once the conversion is done.
Actually what happens is it loads the symbol table on to the main memory and it looks for the corresponding symbol sname with the symbol address with the symbol address form the log report.So, this has to be done for each and every log report and therefore it takes so much of time to convert .
Any idea on how to reduce the conversion time and increase the system performance.
A wuick response is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A tipical bottleneck in processing a file, is when you read it record-by-record. You can accelerate meaningfully by using a bigger buffer, that is, reading 100 by 100 records, or maybe more, you can reduce time to 1/5 or 1/10 according to my experience.
