2024.2 UPDATE - PERFORMACE DEGRADATION

Has anyone else noticed a degradation in performance after installing this update?

 

I have projects with large Volume surfaces with MMS ancillary files where we do surface elevation analysis on and they are taking forever.. can't work like this.

 

Is there a way to uninstall this update now?

Hi @fcernst,

I'm not aware of a performance degradation, but I'll ask the team to research ASAP. Would it be possible to provide a data set for us to validate?

And would you please let me know the build number of the Update you have installed? Asking because we just reposted a new 2024.2 Update yesterday (after taking the previous one down on Oct 11).

Installed the update yesterday.  I use a script to test drawing load performance, I'm getting almost the same time to open the drawing. (2024.2, 38.1 sec; 2022.2.5, 39.1 sec), but this isn't a large dataset (about 30 acres).

Yes.. we're at a 7,500 acre watershed level..

 

Try modifying the Comparison surface.. then rerun the Elevation Analysis for one range.. then modify the elevation range..

Many thanks for sending the data set, @fcernst . We'll take a look and let you know what we learn.

Are we better to hold off installing this update for the moment?

Thanks Tim..

 

I have another data set consisting of a simple Corridor with four simple bowties that won't cleanup that hopefully you're team can look at in regard to the this latest update.

@fcernst I'm curious if you have level of detail on or off.  I have done some testing with a surface large enough to trigger an mms file, with Level of Detail OFF.  

 

Surface is 1.03 Million Points, and I'm getting better performance with 2024.2 vs 2022.2.5.
