2 vertice polylines killing performance in arcgis server/rest api

[JamesSampica]

I have an app rendering about 1000 straight lines between two points. For some reason Arcgis server takes those lines and returns as JSON type "esriGeometryPolyline" which has about 100 points in the path for each line. This is devastating to performance as it's about a 1mb content response.

Can anything be done to reduce the load here?

Maybe before you publish the service, you can run the following tool: ArcGIS Desktop

Thanks for your response. I am attempting to simplify the lines now.
