  • Does use of native ddb vs. element templates for feature definitions affect processing time?

    As I get set up for SS3 I am wondering if linking to the ddb means that there will always be some processing time to "go find" the information in the ddb when trying to apply a feature definition to my graphics. Is the time required for that greater than…
