Hello All,
I am using the Batch Raster to Polygon tool on Pro (2.8.3) and I have noticed that the performance of the tool (completion time) is severely restricted by amount of raster files that are put into the "queue" for conversion. This is an issue for me as I need to convert several raster packages (ideally I would input 365 individual rasters into the batch tool and repeat this several times).
I have tried using the batch tool with different numbers of "input" rasters and I get this (quite consistent) results:
30 rasters = 10 min.
60 rasters = 40 min.
180 rasters = 6 hours and 15 min.
Note that all rasters have similar data so this shouldn't affect processing from one set to another.
As you can see, it would be much more efficient to do 30 rasters in each batch tool go, but you have to do this manually which in a way defeats the purpose of using a "batch" tool.
Is there something I am missing? Something related to cache, specs (I have a very decent laptop), or anything else that might be causing longer processing times as the amount of "input" rasters increases?
Would it be more efficient to do this outside ArcGIS Pro by running a python script? I find the batch tool handy as my python is not amazing.
I am converting rasters from one gdb to another if that makes a difference.
Any feedback will be much appreciated!
