Please suggest tips or tools to improve perfomance for old Visual C++ 6.0 projects

Hi friends, Can anyone suggest tips or tools or tutorials for improve perfomance for old Visual C++ projects ? My company maintains a lot of Visual C++ projects of our customers. Our customer gives C++ projects of about 2-5 years old and request us to improve perfomance. :sigh: If anyone worked for such kind of maintanence projects which includes perfomance tuning, please help us by your valuable tips. :) Thanks & Regards, Jijo. ________________________________ Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, But today is a present.

I offer this tongue-in-cheek: When you initially create a project, lace it with gratuitous sleep and delay-type code. Then when the customer asks that its performance be increased, simply remove the extraneous code and voila...you delivered a faster product and the customer thinks you killed a bear!

It's hard to point to general techniques to improve performance in abstract. As vague as it sounds, I'd say you first need to identify which are the parts of the program in which you find it slow to respond, and then visually inspect the code and make some profiling, looking for opportunities to improve. Maybe if you posted about some concrete thing you want to optimize... -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

Dear Lamas, Thank you for your reply. Actually that project is a mission critical backend application running in an ultrasound scanner product. Its build up on some alreay running frameworks. It uses a custom database. So no hope in optimizing those areas. But the application is performing some communication by using winsock. So if you can comment on network communication optimization it will be helpful for me.
