A table is build for each input. It was declared static and a control was set to test the input point. If the input point is the same as in the previous call, then the same table is used, if not, a new table is built. Calling ecs_SharedValueProtocol2_P2() with the same parameters each time, caused a caching of the table construction. For the field size 155, the timing average of ECSVEP2 phase 2 was 1 ms, instead of 120 ms, the timing result for only one loop. The Toolkit binder registered 1 ms for ECSVEP2 for 155 and 239. >How-To-Repeat: Run bsb.exe, the source being /certicom/projects/toolkit/src/bench/bench.c. >Fix: Run only one loop when benchmarking the ECSVEP2. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: wollman State-Changed-When: Mon Nov 18 13:55:08 PST 1996 State-Changed-Why: This appears to be a bug report for some third-party product.
