Large assembly performance

Dear All,

I am interested in large assembly performance and would like to know if
these times are poor, fair, or good.

I'm running SW 2004 sp0

My machine is a Dell 360 w/ 2.4 GHz P4, 3.00 GB RAM, XP PRO SP1, and QUADRO
NVS W/AGP8X W/64 MEG RAM

My large assemblyis:

TOTAL COMPONENTS: 15285

PARTS 12439

ASSEMBLIES 2846




It loads in the following times:


Lightweight 56 SEC

Resolving from the LW load 88 SEC

To load fully resolved 3:13 MINUTES

This seems really quick to me but this is my first venture pasted 2200
parts.

Tom,

You forgot the most important one:

Time from open to CTD:

 

Tom,

I am curious as to whether SW will use more than 1.5 GB of the 3GB ram you
have installed.

 

Paul,

I don't know yet. I've been really careful to keep the master assembly
drawing broken into several different drawings. The drawing was pulling me
to 1.4 gig. The assembly is only going to <700meg. It eliminated the
1.4gig swap.

I'm hoping that I won't need to learn the answer to your question anytime
soon. I am going to pursue the "3 gig switch", just in case.

Tom
