SYMPTOMS
Import operations that involve template information can take an excessive amount of time.



CAUSE
When the Import process merges new template information with older information, excessive file opens and closes occur. This increases import times for these extra network operations. The impact of these opens and closes will vary with the network operating system in use, and the extent to which the network client will cache file opens and closes.
