Adapted from a response by Arif on Sunday, May 30, 2004 How to Tune a Graph Against Excessive CPU consumption: Options: 1. Reduce the DOP ( degree of parallleism ) for components. Example: 1. Change from a 4-way parallel to a 2-way parallel. 2. Examine each transformation for inefficiencies. Example: 1. If transformation uses many local variables, make these variables global. 2. If same function call is performed more than once; call it once and store its value in a global variable. 3. When reading data, reduce the amount of data that needs to be carried forward to the next component.
