Memory footprint of an iRule

Thanks, Colin. We've been running our load tests to try to measure where the best gains in RAM are. Reducing the use of local variables has been the biggest help so far.

 

 

I also have the following kind of code:

 

 

"

 

set myVar {

 

<20-30 lines of script>

 

}

 

 

catch { if 1 $myVar}

 

"

 

 

I used "myVar" as a kind of macro and invoked it 4 times in my iRule. Load tests showed that it was better (lower RAM usage) just to replicate the block of 20-30 lines throughout the iRule, as opposed to using my macro, even though "myVar" *should* be turned into bytecode.

 

 

Thanks for the responses to this thread.
