CE - Slow to open files

Hi Ian,

Unknown said:

but surely the speed should be faster being 64 bit.

There is no technical reason why 64bit applications should be markedly faster than 32bit. Typically they are, but the difference is usually about a few percents for normal code. The biggest advantage of 64bits is ability to address more memory directly: 4 GB for 32bit apps (but limited to 2 GB in Windows) and 8 TB for 64bit apps.

Any thoughts;

The reported difference is really too big, so it would probably be discussed with Bentley developers to receive some insight what is happening. Valuable information can be if it's a file specific or the same for all files and also if MicroStation configuration is default one or was customized in some way.

With regards,
