Learning what NOT to do.

I've been sitting here trying to rehash my script to take up less memory, as well as to speed up a bit. After all of my little tweaks here and there, the script actually ends up taking more memory. More refinding and again, more memory. Although the script runs fine, I would really like to get the initial memory at start up to be much higher. I've tried abandoning lists, cutting down on string usage, string concatonation, and what seems to be a ton of other tweaks. I feel like I just wasted the night away other than learning what not to do. At least I have a local copy of the original script before I started working on it. From Dedric Mauriac via bloghud.com
