Hello is there any steps to speed up the run time of FME workbench

It depends 🙂 Workspaces can do so many different things, it is hard to say anything about performance improvement without having more info.

The first thing you need to do is to determine what is the current bottleneck. For example, if the source database / dataset is slow, then load time is holding everything up.

Questions I have:

• What is you workspace generally doing? Raster data? Vector data? Webservices?
• Do you see "Optimizing memory" in the log?
  • This is a red flag, it does tell you the memory if full and the process is swapping, i.e. writing memory to disk, and reading it back later on, this creates massive amounts if I/O and is slow.
  • If you have this, you probably need to redesign your process. Like tiling you datasets and process per tile.
• Do you have FeatureCaching on during a production run?
  • This should be off as it eats memory.
• Where are you reading from and writing to?
  • Local SSD? This is fast.
  • Network drive? This is slow.
• Do you need all data you are loading? Or can you do the filtering in the source database? Let the db do the work is best practice.
