Thanks Mark,
We are getting warmer on data...but I'd guess the effect you're seeing from the first time opening and second time opening are related to NX loading libraries and initializing more than anything else. As I'm sure you know, NX is broken into hundreds of dlls which load on demand...
Thanks John...
Seems like the recommendation of refile has been around a longer than this enhancement, but I surmise lightweight data would have an impact depending on the workflow. Do you have any pre NX9 assembly or parts that you can quantitatively quote differences in the load time data for...
I've heard that refile_part has benefits and is important. However, I've run batch-automated loading tests on 1000's of parts randomly sampled from an active Teamcenter database. Many of the parts go back as far as UG v16 vintage and I've seen no significant performance benefit for load times...
