Layout XL SKILL functions extremely slow in L environment

Yaosan

Is there any way to make XL functions (those with prefix "lx") run faster in the Layout L environment, for example by loading the necessary context manually? Here's the speed difference (in CPU time) as measured by the profiler for the lxComputeViaParams function used in a script (this function is called multiple times):

Layout L: took 0.71 seconds to run

Layout XL: took 0.06 second to run

Any suggestion? Thanks!

  • Hi Andrew, as suggested I filed a service request and it turns out this issue is related to license checkout. The workaround provided by Bhupendra, the support I worked with, is to use lmCheckOut() and lmCheckIn() to manually checkout the license before the script is ran and check it back in once it's done.

    I think it will be helpful to have information like this included in the XL function documentation, or maybe fix such license issue in the future by caching the license for a short period of time without checking in and out each time the function is ran.
