[SOLVED] Zoom to Layer (Not Zoom to Selected Feature)

Question

Is there a way to zoom to layer instead of zoom to selected feature. The zoom to selected feature works for me but it's so much slower than just setting a definition query and then zooming to layer (same as right click on layer, zoom to layer). Thanks in advance

I use dataframe.extent = lyr.getExtent(True)

i don't know how much faster it really is though.

That did it, so much faster actually. It took out two searches from my code which makes the script run at least 50% faster. Thanks !
