Rule Name: The Visio Graphics Service has a maximum recalc duration setting that will adversely impact user perceived performance

Summary: The Visio Graphics Service has a maximum recalculation duration setting that will adversely affect performance. If the Maximum Recalc Duration setting is longer than 60 seconds, it might result in large processor load of the Visio Graphics Service and SharePoint Server, decreasing the expected performance of both.

A shorter duration increases performance by only allowing simple data-connected diagrams to be recalculated by the server, minimizing CPU and memory usage. A longer duration allows the recalculation of more complex data-connected diagrams while using more CPU cycles and memory. The default duration is 60 seconds.

Cause: The Maximum Recalc Duration setting was set longer than 60 seconds.

Resolution: Decrease the value of the Maximum Recalc Duration setting
