color:#1F497D'>I have not used a model to create a File GDB however I am not
surprised that it takes longer than a personal. I would guess the slowdown is
caused by anti-virus, anti-adware and so on software that scans each file as it
is being created. Since the File GDB is multiple files and the personal GDB is
only one file I would expect it to take longer. However that amount of
difference in time seems excessive even when you consider scanning. Are you
running some sort of file mirroring or disk imaging software that is making
backup copies? Are you creating this on a network drive? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Any Shrug Users have any knowledge on the performance of
model-builder and the difference between Personal and File GBD's? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal> I have a very simple model that creates a GDB, creates
a feature dataset and 10 feature classes with a number of attribute
fields. A simple and clean model. Running this model to create a
File GDB takes my computor 4:42 minutes to complete, while running it as a
Personal it completes in just 30 seconds. All inputs, processors and
parameters are identidcal, only difference is the type of GDB created.<o:p></o:p></p>
