I programmed a simulation and currently optimizing the function in terms of time. Therefore I use the profiler to check the time consumption per function. Here I was wondering, why a simple copy instruction of a string into a string array - that is indeed often called - takes nearly 10% of simulation time:
in line 65 you can see the instruction. ‘obj.dataList’ is a string-array, ‘pos’ a logical array with equal size of ‘obj.dataList’ and only a single true value and ‘value’ a string. I do not know what exactly happens "inside" of Matlab; since I am using strings, there has to be some kind of repeating memory allocation which of course takes time. But that this single line takes 10% of simulation time, seems a bit long.
Does anyone have an idea, how I can optimize that?
