I think this may have been user error on my part. I'll post a follow up if it is something other than user error.

Thanks,

I couldn't think of anything offhand that would account for that, so I looked 
at several AE descriptors including the assertion component, plus the

suggested, perhaps use the CVD to annotate one of the larger files and compare 
the performance reports generated.

This is interesting. Just curious, were you able to narrow down which
component was slower?  I know that 3.0 includes the full LVG while 2.5
has simple/test LVG by default. But 10x seems pretty extreme...

Hi All,

I am doing a comparison of cTAKES 2.5 and cTAKES 3.0 for a 100
document test corpus.
Timing how long it took, I found that cTAKES 2.5 took 1,490.397
seconds while cTAKES 3.0 took 21,119.485 seconds. It seems like a major
slowdown in performance.
I used the following analysis engine for cTAKES 3.0:

desc/ctakes-clinical-
pipeline/desc/analysis_engine/AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor.xml
I used the following analysis engine for cTAKES 2.5:

cTAKESdesc/cdpdesc/analysis_engine/AggregatePlaintextUMLSProcessor.xml

Any thoughts on why such a difference in performance?

Thanks,
