Don't guess. Use Shark and find out what actually takes time. I suspect you'll be in for some fun surprises.

well, not exactly sure, but the program is nearing beta release, and i'm
trying to eliminate leaks and increase efficiency. So, not exactly sure if
i *absolutely need to do bit ops here, but it would definitely help, because
the operation is done everytime the linenumbers increment themselves - so
when the line number is 100,000, the code would have 'modulo'ed' 100,000
times and as the numbers get large themselves--> eg) 100,000 % 12 = slightly
expensive yes?

hello all,
I have a modulus operation in my code and it runs fine, but my original
algorithm avoided division all together for speed reasons - I am using
modulus due to a change in requirements.


How exactly (or can I) use bit operations to achieve the same effect and
increase my speed here ?

Are you sure that integer division is actually your bottleneck here? Have you profiled you code?

Code:

line_Number++;

if(line_Number % increment == 0)
// lineNumber is any integer
value > 0, can get large w/ time - 100,000++
{ // increment is user
selectable
integer from a set of given values
....
....
}
