I wrote a program, in which there are multiple nested loops (because
there are 7 parameters, each could receive one of 5-7 different
values).
The program runs really fast at first, but starts slowing down when
getting to around the 300th iteration. By 500th iteration, it slows
down significantly, and I could never wait until the whole thing ends
(the longest I have waited was 2 hours).
Does anybody know what could be the cause of this slowing down? "Set
memory" doesn't seem to help.
Any idea will be much appreciated.
thank you.
