Esri’s Support Services blog posted a good piece today on how to troubleshoot slow performance in ArcGIS Desktop. As someone who has spent their fair share of time troubleshooting ArcMap performance I will say that there are a few good tips in the article. The author does make a good point at the end about understanding the realistic expectations of the software, unfortunately, most of us (including myself) tend to disregard realistic expectations and create our own on the fly 🙂
Overall, a good read and worth checking out.
