Hi Marcel,
I hope you are well?
Recently I did some profiling of the DICOM library code and found that the "Array" class can be optimized. At the moment this is implemented as a linked list, causing quite some overhead when looping over the elements using the Get(Index) function as is the case in e.g. PresentationContext::Size(). After converting this code to a plain array (reallocating it in chunks as the buffer grows), I was able to reduce the time needed to load a CT volume by approximately 20%. This also reduces the code in array.tcc quite a bit as finding an element can simply be implemented as e.g.: return *(first_dyn[IndexIn]) instead of having to follow links to the right node in several steps. This update also implies trivial changes to deivr.cxx and qrsop.cxx as the "DataLink" class will no longer be available. If you are interested I can upload the array.tcc and array.thh files (and deivr.cxx/qrsop.cxx as well) to this forum or perhaps the GitHub location?
Best regards,
Lennert.
