Hello,

The following query, for example, with roughly 6500 records took 55.34 seconds 
according to the MarkLogic performance monitor. 

I changed the names and scenario, but used the same exact template. Assume in 
this case that I have 6500 records. Each records the name of the fruit, and how 
many days it took to get from the field to the supermarket. This query, then, 
goes through and gets a unique list of the fruits, since there are repeats. 
Bananas show up in one record as taking 5 days to get to Destination A, while 
Bananas show up as taking 12 days to get to Destination B. In this query, I 
want to get a list of all of the fruits represented as having been transported 
in the 6500 records, and then list the average time that it took for that 
fruit. We might find for example that Bananas get to the locations quicker 
because they are air-freighted while Watermelons take longer since they are 
shipped via ground transportation. That is basically what we are looking for.

QUERY:

for $d in distinct-values(/Data/fruitName) 
return 
<item>
        <fruitName>{$d}</fruitName>
        <averageFrequency>{avg(/qdaData/daysToMarket[/qdaData/fruitName = 
$d])}</averageFrequency>
</item>

That seems highly excessive to me. Each record is composed of just 30 XML 
fields. All 6500 records take up less than 30mb disk space cumulatively. The 
server I am on is running 24gb RAM. I have all of the fields above as indexed 
database elements within MarkLogic. Pretend the following is a rough version of 
one of the XML files:

<Data>
        <fruitName>Banana</fruitName>
        <daysToMarket>5</daysToMarket>
        <finalDestination>Phoenix</finalDestination>
        <origin>Argentina</origin>
        <weight>5.5</weight>
        ... etc
</Data>

Thanks,
Joseph Irvine

It sounds likely that the .NET queries are not quite the same as the AB 
queries. If you can identify a slow query, post it to the list and you may get 
some useful tuning advice.
