Engine performance data

Example performance data

The following tables show peak memory consumption and processing times across a range of synthetic and real world files. For typical production workloads, processesing completes in less than one second and uses under 4GB RAM.

Complexity

Memory consumption depends on how complex a file is, based on the number and type of elements the engine evaluates. For example, a small but complex Excel workbook with many sheets may consume more memory than a large but simple image file. File complexity scores are included in the engine’s analysis report. In most cases, real files score no higher than 7, with a maximum value of 10. The table below shows some examples, from synthetically generated files, of how complexity scales with the number of objects.
