There’s a 3x increase in the runtime when I updated the library from Aspose 23.8 to 23.9 (and no other changes in the code).

@gssnhimabindu,
Thank you for contacting support.

Could you please share more details to reproduce the issue on our end?

I have compared the performance using several PPTs, and could see a sharp difference when the PPTs have equations. The performance has been affected since this Containerize.IdentityServer - Single sign-on to access all applications and services of Aspose Pty Ltd. fix. We are using simple APIs of Slides.NET such as getthumbnail of shapes/slides, getparagraphs, getshapes in slide etc.

@gssnhimabindu,
To investigate the case on our end, please share the following files and information:

  • examples of presentation files
  • code examples
  • your performance metrics
  • OS version on which the code was executed
  • .NET platform in your app

Hi,
Kindly use the presentation from this link Containerize.IdentityServer - Single sign-on to access all applications and services of Aspose Pty Ltd., you can copy the slides 10 times within same PPT to see a noticeable difference.

OS version: windows 10
.NET framework 4

Code example:

public void AsposeRuntimeCheck(Presentation Ppt)
{

    var timer = new Stopwatch();
    timer.Start();
    var slides = Ppt.Slides;
    var slideNum = 0;
    var shapeNum = 0;
    foreach (var slide in slides)
    {
        var shapes = slide.Shapes;

        foreach (var shape in shapes)
        {
            try
            {
                Bitmap ImageData = shape.ToBitmap();
                ImageData.Dispose();
                Console.WriteLine("Aspose runtime check in slide: " + slideNum + "," + "shape: " + shapeNum);
            }
            catch (Exception exp)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception in aspose runtime check- " + exp.Message);
            }
            shapeNum++;
        }
        slideNum++;
    }
    timer.Stop();
    TimeSpan timeTaken = timer.Elapsed;
    string foo = "Time taken: " + timeTaken.ToString();

    Console.WriteLine("runtime " + foo);
    return;
}

Here we have highlighted only one API to show the performance difference. 23.9, 23.10 have taken at least 10x time more than 23.8.

@gssnhimabindu,

When I clicked on your pasted link, I could not access to paid support ticket. We appreciate if you could zip and attach the source PowerPoint presentation, so we could evaluate your issue precisely on our end.

By the way, we have now released Aspose.Slides for .NET from v23.10. so you may also try it if it makes any difference.
