Hey,

Well ... The application zoom in before it receives data or it can re-draw the graphic symbols

What you can do to solve the problem:
1. Get a faster internet connection (client PC)
2. Get a good graphic card (client PC)
3. Get a faster processor (client PC)
4. If you have your own services, do 1, 3 to your server.
5. All the above

What you can not help:
1. Speed of ESRI's services or third part services

However, you also can use the zoomStart event of the map to make symbol invisible and make it visible again once zoomEnd

I have the same problem as this I believe...

I have a DrawTool that adds points to a graphics layer (these points are actual images) and when the user zooms in and out the point re-scales itself. Is there anyway to fix the zoom of these images, so that when the user zooms in and out, the image stays the same size?
