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 Yaosan,

    Bhupendra put me on copy in the discussion with R&D; I'm sure that the right fix will be to do some kind of caching or even permament checkout of the XL license when this function is first called - but that's not been discussed enough yet to reach agreement.

    In my case the licenses were all local, so it was pretty fast. Also, I think I then opened VLS XL, and I probably had the licenses checked out the second time (which is why it was quicker the second time).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
