I wondered if anyone has been experiencing this problem. I have a hierarchy of 4 layers of inheritance which roughly has 2-5 branches per layer. I'm using inheritance by Table-Per-Type. On first querying the data a straight forward query to return <OfType> of the bottom layer is taking at least 8 seconds to return about 10 objects.
Using the SQL Profiler, I notice that the query is very large, (about 8000 lines, half a million characters according to word!!)
I'm guessing the delay is caused by the Entity Framework rather than DevForce, just wondered if it's worth investing the time in Table-Per-Hierarchy or stored procedures.
Any suggestions
