Wildfire configuration

Hi,



I'm currently making the transition from 2001 to Wildfire with 3 seats. Does anyone know if there are any particular config settings that will enable Wildfire to access files faster from a server. I did figured Wildfire would run somewhat slower than 2001 using the same hardware but it's quite a bit slower at loading. If someone has a good config.pro to look at highlighting the variables unique to Wildfire that would be great.



Thanks,



Greg
 
I think Wildfire generally uses more resources than previous releases (see Benchmark results, eg on proesite.com). In particular, it's more graphics-intensive.



There are some options like:

- save_model_display

- blended_transparency

that have different defaults in Wildfire.



Also check whether what directories you've set in your config.pro, eg:

trail_dir

pro_symbol_dir

pro_library_dir

start_model_dir

- Pro/E may take longer to browse certain folders...
