>> There's a separate 'Performance Tips' that I compiled a few months ago:

>>
>>>From a previously forwarded email:
>>
>> After much digging into ESRI bulletins under the subject name, I find
>> that
>> both the OS and the network may be the problem: we run Netware and will
>> eventually switch to Microsoft as the main server: so that's the
>> technology buzz on this matter.
>>
>> Yes, AV3 and ArcGIS can work OK on some previous versions of Microsoft,
>> i.e., Windows 2000: I noticed that my NT needed a memory increase to 512
>> MB (minimum) in V9: so I received a new package with XP instead.
>>
>> AV3 doesn't work as well with XP, practically non-functional as a
>> workstation so I use AV3 as an archive viewer of my AV3 work. I import
>> AV3
>> APRs to V9 as needed: note: ESRI text and color palettes don't always
>> transfer to V9 completely so ESRI needs to work on that: however, I
>> haven't heard any complaints on that yet.
>>
>> Without getting into great expense on the subject of workstation
>> improvements for better ESRI V8/9 performance (see link below) as I said
>> I
>> recently upgraded to Windows XP, ArcGIS 9 and as I said I use AV3 as a
>> project viewer rather than an application software because AV3 doesn't
>> perform that well on XP as stated in the ESRI bulletin on OSs and even
>> with the ESRI Arcview/XP patch on.
>>
>> V9/XP/Netware don't perform well together as in loading and moving to
>> other projects, a slow process even with Microsoft Windows XP
>> Professional
>> 2002, Service Pack 1: Pentium 4, 3.00 GHz CPU, 1.00 GB of RAM. Related
>> to
>> the OS from what I've gathered: at least that's the latest theory.
>>
>> We just weren't aware of any incompatibility issues in the complex
>> matrix
>> of software, hardware, operating system, network server: hindsight
>> again.
>> Note: Received a suggestion to use the best
>> Software/Properties/Compatibility color setting of 256 and a better
>> graphics card, one with a built-in video RAM (GT 126MB) rather than 32
>> or
>> less.

>> PS: I received the following recommendations from ESRI Support: "Have
>> you
>> tried increasing your virtual memory to 4095 MB? You can access your
>> virtual memory by going to
>> Controlpanel/System/Advanced/PerformanceOptions
>> Under performance options, you should have a paging file or virtual
>> memory option. You can try increasing both the min and max virtual
>> memory
>> settings to 4095 MB and see if that makes a difference. Are you
>> accessing
>> this data locally, or on a network server? I have included a link below
>> that outlines the problem of slow network data access, and a workaround
>> solution."
