Problems start after compile

[VB ID 10 T]

I have an application that analyzes html from a list of website and provides are report based on the results. I am using the inet component to grab the html.

When I run the app from the VB IDE, it goes very quickly and provides accurate results. After I compile the application, it slows down considerably (IDE runs are about 100-200 times faster than compiled runs). I thought I might be referencing two different msinet.ocx files but they are the same. I also looked for any indication that I need to somehow initialize the inet control. Again - nothing.

Does anybody have any suggestions.

I am getting the html as follows:
================

strGet= Inet1.OpenURL(url)

Do While Inet1.StillExecuting
DoEvents
Loop

I then analyze the contents of strGet

Any help is greatly appreciated.


EDIT: I just wanted to add that I have confirmed through logging that the slow down is when the inet.OpenURL is called.

You are going to need to put some timing code in your app to find the exact place where this "Slow Down" happens. You can use ******* in my signature to help you do this, or you can use a VB Analyzer ($$$$) to time your functions.

You can also not do DoEvents on each iteration in your loop. Do it on every tenth iteration to see if there is any difference.

I have never seen where an exe runs slower than interpeted code in the IDE.

Well, the jam up is definitely occurring at the inet1.OpenUrl call. I even commented it out of the code and rebuilt the exe to make sure. I fooled around with the DoEvents as well - but I couldn't detect any difference between the builds.

I also unplugged my connection and it runs without delay. So it is almost like there is something else competing for the inet control when I run the exe. My thought is that the IDE must be doing something to initialize or manage requests to the control that my code does not do.

Any thoughts?
