I'm using arcpy with ArcGIS and simply want to add a shapefile to the Table of Contents. The only tools I see that can do this are AddLayer and InsertLayer, which would require me to convert my shapefiles to layers. Is there a way to add these shapefiles without doing it as a Layer? Thanks

I'm using ArcGIS 10 and running the analysis on shapefiles. I tried importing the shapefiles to a geodatabase, but it actually took look longer for the analysis (I only tested on the Intersect), another thing that puzzled me. An update on this: I was running the script from a created toolbox in ArcMap...I have since tried running the scripts from the command line on my computer, and they run much faster, possibly as much as 5 times faster. Thanks! Cody

My experience with these two tools is that Intersect runs much faster than Spatial Join. For 100 files, intersect took about 40 seconds, while Spatial Join took almost 4 minutes. Why the difference in processing time? It seems like Spatial Join is doing a more simplified overlay, and should take less time.
