Persistent feeders

To improve the reload time of cubes with feeders, set the PersistingOfFeeders configuration parameter to true (T) to store the calculated feeders to a feeders file. Any installation with a server load time of over five minutes can probably improve its performance using this parameter.

When this parameter is set to T and the server encounters a persistent feeder file, it loads the saved feeders which reduces the time normally taken to recalculate those feeders. Feeders are saved when the data is saved or rules are edited. You do not explicitly save the feeders.

For installations with many complex feeder calculations persisting feeders , re-loading feeders at server startup will improve performance. For simple feeders, the time taken to read feeders from disk may exceed the time to re-calculate the feeders but most installations will get benefit from this.
