The various Conditions that you specify within your AppSense EM configurations take different amounts of time to process. To maintain the optimal time for processing of configurations, it is important to know the relevant speeds that each Condition is processed at. Once you are aware of these speeds, you can then streamline your configurations to ensure the best possible performance. As an example, if a configuration contains OR Conditions, you can group them in order of response time with the quickest evaluating first. If the first Condition matches, the configuration is not held up by the slower response time of the second Condition.
The relative speeds of each Condition are shown below
User Conditions
Computer Conditions
Directory Service Conditions
The performance of the Computer Name condition can apparently be increased by enabling Reverse DNS Lookup on the systems in question.
So in any configurations with dependent nodes and actions, care should be taken as to the ordering of the Conditions (where possible) in order to streamline the processing of the configuration.
