Summary:An improved object loader is provided that is designed to take advantage of the caching architecture of many of today's processors to improve performance. Some of today's most advanced processors, like the PENTIUM processor, have a two-level caching scheme utilizing both a primary cache and a secondary cache, where data contained in the primary cache is accessible 50 to 150 times faster than data in main memory. The improved object loader uses a hash table and an object handle table to load objects, where each of these tables is designed and utilized in such a manner so as to take full advantage of the processor's caching architecture to increase system performance.
