Due to the large size of the datasets I am building the dictionary "in_memory." The first time I ran this, it processed fairly quickly. The second time I ran the same script on the same data and the processing time doubled. I ran it a third time (on different data, with not much difference in dataset size) and the time doubled from the second run. I am deleting the "in_memory" as one of the first steps of my script to ensure a clear workspace. Any ideas on why it is getting slower each run?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:44:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-processing-running-twice-as-slow-each-run/m-p/566719#M44371 SarahOishi 2012-04-04T16:44:56Z Re: Python processing running twice as slow each run https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/python-processing-running-twice-as-slow-each-run/m-p/566720#M44372 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Are you executing this through IDLE?
