Posted: 06/12/2003 16:11:30 Several years ago, I tried WPTools but then switched to TRichview. I work with very large documents and WPTools is much slower (like 10 times slower) to load and process large documents than TRichview. WPTools also uses much more memory (about 4 times as much if I recall). I contacted the author Julian Ziersch and he had said that this was because of the internal processing in WPTools, which is on a character by character basis. As a result, he said it was not possible to make it much faster or use less memory.
