The Visio Graphics Service has a minimum cache age setting that will adversely impact performance (SharePoint Server 2010)

 

Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise

Rule Name:   The Visio Graphics Service has a minimum cache age setting that will adversely impact performance

Summary:   The Visio Graphics Service has a minimum cache age setting that will adversely affect performance. If the Minimum Cache Age setting is shorter than 5 minutes, it might result in large processor and network load of the Visio Graphics Service and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, decreasing the expected performance of both. However, increasing this value means that users will not see their data-connected diagrams refreshing as frequently.

Cause:   The Minimum Cache Age setting was set shorter than 5 minutes.
