Offhand I'm thinking the latter, as the addition of 2,000 collections on top of what already exists may well hammer Collection Evaluator pretty hard (depending on the frequency of evaluation cycle). OTOH, a single query with "...a large amount of different queries" could also hammer SQL quite hard on that collection's eval cycle... kind of a tough one to judge given what we know thus far, like how complex are the queries? How well are the queries optimized to minimize the SQL hit? Etc, etc...
Ed Aldrich | Channel Solutions Engineer | 1E +1 (401) 924-2293 [Description: Description: cid:[email protected]] Ent Cli Mgmt (2003-2014) Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Atkinson, Matt T Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2015 12:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Which of these options would cause the least impact on our site server? Need to create 2 pretty large collections for targeting of client settings (controlling BITS throttling). Is it more efficient to create a lot (approximately 2000) of small collections and include them in another collection, or is it better to create one collection with a large number of different queries to determine membership? Trying to have the least amount of performance impact on the site server.
