Hi all,
We did a very simple test recently to quantify a perceived performance
hit when using Access files with MapInfo. This is on a pentium 200,
MapInfo 5, Windows NT - and is a simple workspace of US counties
thematically shaded. Here's what we got;
Data Source:total workspace loading(sec):indexing(sec):redraw time(sec)
Native Mapinfo:10:0:5
DBF:9:0:5
Access:70:50:10
Pretty dramatic slowdown. I understand that most of the time increase
is the index rebuilding. The more important concern for us is the
doubling of the redraw time (redraw in this case meaning the initial
drawing of the map layers once all files and windows are open). We
haven't done any further testing - but does anyone have any thoughts on
the matter? It this a common experience?
Thanks.
