Why does it take 100 times as long for the eighth DIR ?

#1 Post by alan_b » 09 Jan 2014 16:20

Code: Select all

DIR "%~3" /W | FIND "ill"

Above is the command which normally takes perhaps 50 mSec, but on every eighth instance it takes 4000 mSec,
and after competing a run with 31 such instances over a 136 second period,
The Windows Task Manage Resources shows under "CPU" that 19 off CMD.EXE PIDS were "terminated"
( there were perhaps 31 terminations, but the instances are progressively grayed out and vanished. )
For some reason the same code sequence runs 7 times without faltering, and on the eight run it chokes and runs out of breath.

If no arguments were given when my script is launched, it calls itself with a representative set of arguments that stipulate :-
The number of copies of a files to place in each of a sequence of paths ( e.g. "E:\Test\Fill\A" "E:\Test\Fill\B" "E:\Test\Fill\C" )
The intention was (and will be) to place one copy of the original file in each path,
and to repeat until each path has received the designated number of copies.
A lot of the complexity has been stripped away below to simplify analysis of the problem.

I have found a way to reduce the frequency with which I invoke DIR and this seems to work-a-round my problem,
BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE an explanation of this problem and if there is a better way that to avoid these 4 second periods of death.

This is my simplified script

Code: Select all

@echo off & SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion

Your script doesn't seem to do much. I suspect you left out info on the operating environment of the batch file.

Re: Why does it take 100 times as long for the eighth DIR ?

#3 Post by alan_b » 10 Jan 2014 04:12

Sorry - I forgot to explain.

My script has always assumed that line 3 would stipulate paths that already exist,
it does not create paths to suit the script,
but instead line 3 is adjusted to suit the paths to be tested.
Hence line 3 processes these three paths :-
"E:\Test\Fill\A" "E:\Test\Fill\B" "E:\Test\Fill\C"

I have just renamed the parent path that was "E:\Test\Fill" to become "E:\Test\Fill-0" and now the paths no longer physically exist,
and now my script produces ALMOST the same result as you show because it is now attempting DIR on paths that are missing
The only difference is that you seem to have changed all instances of E:\ to D:\ on line 3.
I guess all you need to do is create on your machine the three folders "D:\Test\Fill\A\", "D:\Test\Fill\B\", ""D:\Test\Fill\C\",
after which the script will be able to process DIR listings and measure the duration of each access.
Please note that NORMALLY for my original needs I would show below each instance of
" Directory of E:\Test\Fill\A"
the number of files which it held, such as
" 48 File(s) 360,860 bytes"
But to reduce space occupied by my screen dumps for this topic I omit that information with many instances of

Code: Select all

DIR "%~3" /W | FIND "ill"

instead of

Code: Select all

DIR "%~3" /W | FIND "il"


N.B.
Where my line 3 shows three paths
"E:\Test\Fill\A" "E:\Test\Fill\B" "E:\Test\Fill\C"
I have tested the script with far more than 10 paths on a mix of partitions,
and the script successfully determines that the list is exhausted with the code
SHIFT
IF "%3" NEQ "" GOTO :SHOW_FILES_LOOP

I'm not sure what this is supposed to report - I don't seem to have a delay of 4 seconds.

Re: Why does it take 100 times as long for the eighth DIR ?

#5 Post by alan_b » 10 Jan 2014 06:59

Thanks for testing the script

My "normal" "average" measured time was in the range 35 to 55 mSec.
Your system seems to be 2 or 3 times faster.
Could that be due to your running the script on a faster drive than mine, perhaps an SSD where I uses a secondary internal SATA connected HDD ?

I have a fairly old desktop with 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate with an AMD 4 core processor and 8 GB of RAM .
You seem to have a smooth system, where mine has a fairly regular stutter.

I have seen learned discussions in this forum about unexpected performances consequences when creating / changing variables,
and how executing a BAT script might spawn further instances of more CMD.EXE processes,
and the imgur screen shot does show that many such processes were spawned and left to die / terminate.
I thought that I might have encountered one of these problems,
perhaps by using "SHIFT" to access arguments beyond %9,
and it caused CMD.EXE to occasionally "choke on its own vomit".
I was hoping that whatever the cause it could be identified and I could be guided on how to avoid the grief.

Some time ago I started a topic about a problem where BAT would launch a Cscript action and run this many times a second,
and periodically action would stop for perhaps 4 seconds.
I think I will just have to accept that CMD.EXE does not like hard work on my system.

QUESTION :-
Would a 3 or 4 second pause be consistent with a CMD.EXE child process being spawned to achieve some action,
and for some reason the action failed and the "parent" process that launched the "child",
might take a few seconds to recognise the child has died without achieving its purpose,
and so after 3 or 4 seconds the parent spawns a new "child" to complete the mission.

Thanks for testing my script.
I am disappointed that again I have stumbled into a problem with either Windows 7 installation or with my hardware,
but at least I can stop trying to fix an error in my script.

Regards
Alan

Alan, I was going to say that I have a Windows curiosity where a 16 bit program will sometimes take up to around 12 seconds to start,
but I wanted to clarify the issue you mentioned first.

I don't have a problem with CMD internal commands or external commands, but just some 16 bit utilities, and it doesn't happen every time they are launched.

My D: HDD is a USB 3 connected 2.5 inch drive, so it's not as fast as an internal SATA drive.

My PC is swift but not new:

Code: Select all

   Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center

 System

   Processor:   Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz   3.70 GHz
   Installed memory (RAM):   8.00 GB (3.49 GB usable)
   System type:   32-bit Operating System, x64-based processor



The 16 bit program issue I've had was first evident in Windows XP and I googled it a lot, but never found a solid reason or solution.
It went away in Windows 7 but seems to have returned in Windows 8.1

Perhaps it is some driver I have installed from a software...

I have to admit to being very lazy too - I noticed this SET "TINY=500K.BIN" but didn't examine the code closely.

Is there supposed to be any files in those folders?

I did switch the Comodo Defense+ protection from "Safe Mode" to "Disabled" but left its Anti-Virus protection set at "Stateful" for my tests.
I would expect Comodo to have no effect,
and if it did have an effect I would expect to to interfere with every cycle.
I will however retest and observe whether there is any increase in the cumulative total CPU time during the operation of my script.

Those files are NOT needed for the script I submitted

My original script used the routine ":SHOW_FILES" to display for each path the name of the path and the quantity of files which it held.
The heavily redacted script that I submitted shows only the name and NOT the number of files.

My project uses a routine ":DO_FILES" to make multiple copies of E:\Test\Fill\500K.BIN into :-
NTFS partition U:\#e(s)1\ plus U:\#e(s)2\
and
FAT32 partition V:\#e(s)1\ plus V:\#e(s)2\
That works perfectly and Comodo has no problems with the frantic creation of half MByte files.

I created ":SHOW_FILES" to validate ":DO_FILES",
and the simple ":SHOW_FILES" is causing more grief than the complex ":DO_FILES".

For this topic I removed ":DO_FILES" code,
but am afraid I overlooked odd bits of code such as "SET "TINY=500K.BIN"" which have no effect on ":SHOW_FILES"

Alan

Thanks, you were right.

The problem was present yesterday with Comodo disabled.

This morning I decided to start the day by disabling Comodo and then shutting down,
and then powering up so that the system had a clean start without any Comodo services or gizmos in action,
and now the problem is gone until I again enable Comodo.

The thing which puzzles me most is WHY Comodo strikes exactly once in eight for each DIR command,
when each DIR command is repeated 14 times for a given path before the next path is processed.

So - problem solved - mystery remains.
I remain thankful that for all these years Comodo has kept all the bad things out.

Many thanks
Regards
Alan

This is probably just the result of scanning suspicious processes:
Any processes is marked as suspicious by a counter based heuristic:
An application is declared as suspicious if it accesses file system 14 times per second (or similar).

It is reasonable to be suspicious of such behaviour,
but UNREASONABLE that "Defence+" has no such suspicion.
I found that I could enable both the Firewall and Defense+ without incurring the problem.
It was only the Antivirus protection that instigated calamity.

I'm not familar with comodo, so i don't know what "Defence+" is.
If it is an option you may activate, then it possibly replaces some heuristic functions and uses other ones (or executes programs in a sandbox, or ...).

If it is a kind of a premium version of the antivirus tool, it might have other heuristics included (or executes programs in a sandbox, or ...).

Defense+ is supposed to intercept every "dangerous" activity by one executable is interacting with another.

It is like "UAC on steroids" but different in that :-
It does NOT inevitably interfere every time that I launch a specific application - I click and it is launched without any sort "Are you sure - it might do you harm ?"
It DOES wait for actual harm to be imminent, and only then does it act by blocking the action until I have chosen :-
Whether to Allow or Deny, together with whether to remember this decision and not bother me again.

When I launch a BAT script Defense+ trusts my decision and lets that happen.
When the script takes an action, such as launching REG.EXE, then it intercepts,
UNLESS it has been told to remember my decision that the action is allowable AND ONLY THEN if the script has not been modified since it was told to remember.
Even if the BAT script is allowed to to run REG.EXE, it needs separate authorisation for other actions (e.g. launching Internet Explorer.)

When I run CCleaner.exe to clean junk from my P.C. the files are deleted quite quickly.
The job is somewhat faster if Defense+ is disabled, i.e. when fully active for each file deletion it looks up to see if I have authorised CCleaner to delete a file.
I prefer to wait the extra couple of seconds rather than launch the Comodo controls to disable before CCleaner and remember to enable afterwards.

That is why I feel it appropriate for Defense+ to cause my latest problem, rather than the Antivirus,
but perhaps things will get better when I finish experimenting and update to the latest version of Comodo.

N.B.
I have totally disabled SANDBOX.
I used Comodo before it ever had a sandbox and when it arrived it caused me grief.
With SANDBOX enabled I had no difficulty installing sundry Extensions to Firefox,
and then I found that neither LastPass nor Foxmarks were succesful - the SANDBOX had concealed from me the prompts I expect from Defense+.

Regards
Alan
