New Trace Geometric Networktool very slow

Question

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this:
I'm using the new Trace Geometric Network geoprocessing tool in Model Builder.  It can take upwards of 2 hours to execute a trace that takes just a couple minutes when I use the Utility Network Analyst toolbar and set the flags manually.  And that's when I'm returning a selected set, even.

Anyone else notice this difference or have any theories on why the difference is so great?  Or how to make it quicker?

Thanks
Jake

Thanks Benjamin,

but the documentation doesn't help me. As far as I can tell, I've followed the help instructions for using Trace Geometric Network in Model Builder, but the process takes a long time, it crashes or the output is empty.

Thanks,

Mariette

You may have looked at this already but the ESRI help page on "Trace Geometric Network" specifically mentions some tips for using it in modelbuilder.

Was there ever any resolution to this thread? I'm having similar problems in ArcGIS 10.2 trying to run a pretty simple Trace Geometric Network using type "Find Connected" in Model Builder. It's VERY slow and some times just crashes.

Is there any help documentation on setting up a trace geometric network using Model Builder?

Thanks,
