[Pawn] Opinion on PVars

[Pinch]

Hi everyone, I've gotten bored so I started writing a gamemode for fun, I want it to be a RolePlay gamemode with all of the stuff (like the NG-RP) but I want it to be smooth on bigger player base too..



I ran some tests and those were the results

Code:

Timing "PawnPlus list"...

      Mean = 480.00ns

      Mode = 475.00ns

    Median = 477.00ns

     Range = 5.00ns

Timing "Normal var"...

      Mean = 200.00ns

      Mode = 199.00ns

    Median = 200.00ns

     Range = 3.00ns

Timing "Pvar timings"...

      Mean = 483.00ns

      Mode = 481.00ns

    Median = 483.00ns

     Range = 4.00ns

The code I used:

Code:

new List:pp_list[1000];



enum E_PLAYER_DATA {

    E_PLAYER_SOME_VAR,

    E_PLAYER_SOME_VAR_2,

    E_PLAYER_SOME_VAR_3

};

new PlayerData[1000][E_PLAYER_DATA];



hook OnScriptInit()

{

    for(new i = 0; i < 1000; ) {

        pp_list[i] = list_new();

        list_resize_var(pp_list[i], 3, VAR_NULL);    

    }

    return Y_HOOKS_CONTINUE_RETURN_1;

}



public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)

{

    wait_ms(5000);

    print("A");

    RUN_TIMING("PawnPlus list")

    {

        list_set(pp_list[playerid], 0, 10000000);

        list_set(pp_list[playerid], 1, 10000000);

        list_set(pp_list[playerid], 2, 10000000);

    }

    RUN_TIMING("Normal var")

    {

        PlayerData[playerid][E_PLAYER_SOME_VAR] = 10000000;

        PlayerData[playerid][E_PLAYER_SOME_VAR_2] = 10000000;

        PlayerData[playerid][E_PLAYER_SOME_VAR_3] = 10000000;

    }

    RUN_TIMING("Pvar timings")

    {

        SetPVarInt(playerid, "key1", 10000000);

        SetPVarInt(playerid, "key2", 10000000);

        SetPVarInt(playerid, "key3", 10000000);

    }

    return 1;

}

So, is it worth it?

Should I use PVars/PP lists? Does it even matter that much when the diff is 200ns?
