Does Bet Angel Slow Down with Complex Rules?

[lotora]

Does Bet Angel take longer to trigger bets if you have hundreds of lines with nested conditions compared to more straightforward rules/calculations?
EDIT: I use VPS from Bet Angel.

i would say that it certainly must, especially if you are cycling many markets. however, depending on the spec of your machine, this may amount to very little difference, but it will be there - common sense informs us of this. I'm sure dallas et al will clarify. One other thing to note is to always clear your log each day, especially if you write out a lot of sv's to the log as this definitely does slow things down.

common sense informs us of this

- A phrase that I used to hear often as a child growing up in the 70s and 80s.

Sadly I think the last time I heard it was around the millennium - certainly before social media and so-called ''influencers'' and ever-increasingly woke university lecturers told us all what to think!!

Funny how 6 words can make one so nostalgic for a gentler time with principles that I fear we'll never see again. If only more people had critical thinking skills, the ability to reason and enjoy passionate debate without resorting to insults and name-calling.

If only we all listened to common sense and reason, polite society would be far kinder and less adversarial.

I have an old laptop that runs on 50% CPU usage because otherwise it overheats. It's no longer able to cope with testing my VBA bots but happily runs 10-20 uncomplex rules files. That at least tells me that rules files are much more efficient in terms of CPU, but obviously every device will have its limit.

What does common sense say about gay people?

It could be argued that there's no such thing as "common" sense, everybody will make what they will from any situation.

Again, Dallas can clarify, but when I used to test some very complex baf's, I found that continuous log writes really slowed everything down. Reducing those seemed to make a big difference in speed

This will be because the interaction with the UI. Othe than that, even complex rules will run quickly in the underlying core.

Yes, it makes sense; that's common sense. Most of the time, it only goes through about 15% of the conditions before triggering. There aren't any complex rules. The conditions mainly involve "basic" Stored Values, and each condition is a straightforward binary decision: either met or not. My gut feeling is that it works well, and I don't see any obvious way to make it faster.

This is interesting.

I have complex rules running for my TPD data and I log quite a large amount of data during every race. I log because it helps me identify the cause of any unexpected behaviour.

Roughly I log about 15 lines per second per selection, so easily into the hundreds per second for larger races. Could this volume of logging be causing some drag? I am running a high-spec machine.

We've coded Bet Angel to adjust to the ability of the PC to cope. If you have a really good spec PC, you should be OK. But logging does increase the strain on the PC via the UI, so it would have some effect, but much less so on something with a decent graphics card.

I've always wondered how it all works with incredibly complex ifs, ands, buts, if-nots and maybes involved every 20 milliseconds. So it's my PC doing all the work and not at BA's end? My laptop's pretty ancient and was never high-spec to begin with.
