I imagine the file is loaded into memory, but this will not
necessarily slow things down; it depends on how the data is searched.
It would be instructive to create a huge dictionary, say via an
automated process that renamed A<n> to Z<n> for arbitrarily large
numbers of n values, to see if JAWS either slows down or starts
consuming massive amounts of CPU time. I recommend a test document
with no renamed values in it and another that is chocked full of them,
for comparison. I've never tested this sort of thing.
Here's a quick Python program to generate such a file. Usage:
something like python gendict.py 5000 > notepad.jdf
#! /usr/bin/env python
# Save as gendict.py (or whatever you like)
# Requires Python to be installed.
import os, sys
n = int(sys.argv[1])
for i in range(0, n):
print ".A%d.Z%d." % (i, i)

Hi everybody,
Could somebody tell me it how JAWS handles the dictionary files? Iwould
like to know if entries are loaded into the memory on startup or JAWS
reads entries on the fly like Windows reads the ini file entries.
I would like to extend the Hungarian default JAWS dictionary with over
5,000 entries but I don't want to slow down the machine with memory
overloading. So I would like to know if JAWS reads these files only
during text processing or the whole file is loaded into the memory and
JAWS looks these in-memory-file up during the process?
Thanks in advance,
Csaba
