cooking/optimizing

I have 120 components which access a single table by rownumber using the nodename’s digits (In each component a select DAT grabs a single row (by index, using $OPD)from the table)

That table comes from a DAT chain and often only has around 20 rows, so 100 of the 120 components don’t get any data, therefore they shouldn’t be visible and shouldn’t cook at all.

I tried the monitor-DAT-for-changes/lock-unlock trick, but that also costs 0.05 ms per component == over 5 ms

Any ideas how to do this without so much cooking, i.e. disabling all component’s which don’t have a matching row in the incoming table DAT?

Thanks

Now the Replicator component will help you maintain one component per table row.
