There can be slowdown for small functions that need just a few hundred clock cycles: such functions are usually inlined by the compiler. If you try to move such functions to DLL from exe and call them from exe, then you introduce a function call overhead which might increase the running time of these functions significantly.</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>Best regards,</DIV><DIV>Roman</DIV> Fri, 01 Oct 2010 14:34:13 GMT Roman_D_Intel 2010-10-01T14:34:13Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Difference-between-exe-file-generated-by-Visual-studio-08-and/m-p/861906#M7717 Hi, <DIV></DIV> <DIV>I want to know whether there will be any execution speed improvement in running .exe file and running active dll file..if there why it is so?</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>and also tell me the difference between the two..</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>thanks in advance..</DIV> Thu, 25 Mar 2010 10:26:33 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Difference-between-exe-file-generated-by-Visual-studio-08-and/m-p/861906#M7717 coolsandyforyou 2010-03-25T10:26:33Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Difference-between-exe-file-generated-by-Visual-studio-08-and/m-p/861907#M7718 Hi,<DIV></DIV><DIV>I am not sure what your concrete test scenario is...
