My previous post about Revit performance highlighted the need for precise feedback from user about starting and synchronizing time. This is important when dealing with many users, with potentially different configuration and performance. In this case, these loading times can alert you soon enough of a problem with a model.
Having feedback from every user is also important, since you need to detect quickly if any user is having more difficulty to open a file than the average.
You can also compare file size progression with loading time to establish and check your set of good practices for keeping Revit models powerful.
To be more accurate and systematic with these measures, I create a small piece of code to log every opening, synchronizing and closing of Revit model for multiples users.
Once these information are stored, it is pretty easy to collect them and write them down to a csv file.
It is now possible to quickly create very precise graph displaying opening time of different model, compare them and show their evolution along time.
There's more information, including the source code, available on the BIM 42 blog.
