Reduce/Eliminate the start up time for a batch job

I'm looking for ideas on how I might be able to modify either my jobs, workflow or data flow in an effort to reduce the "start up" time that I'm encountering.
Currently I have a batch job we execute several hundred times a day. One of the parameters we pass to this job is a file path. The data flow reads a flat text file in this file path, processes the data through several transforms, and writes a flat text file back into the file path.
The actual processing time varies with the number of records being processed -- as one would expect.
However, even for the smallest - single record - input file the job takes between 40 and 50 seconds to complete. If I watch the trace file during this time it appears that 95% of this time is spent getting ready to run the job. The actual processing is almost instantaneous.
Is there anything that I can look at changing in order to improve the overall performance of these jobs?
I should mention that I am aware of setting up real time jobs, and how they would not require this "start up" time for each job submitted. However this jobs we process could between 1 to 1,000,000 records. Passing that many records in a single web service call does not seem reasonable. I would deal with issue on the submission side and then the potential timeout issue when waiting on the response -- which could also be quite large.

Thanks Michael --
I must admit I'm a bit lost when it comes to the issue of codepages.
Is there any documentation you could refer me to with regard to setting the correct codepage for the data sources and targets?
Also, from the trace log I see the following statement:
Changed engine runtime locale <eng_us.cp1252> to <Unicode (UTF-16)> because data flow <DF_Suppression> contains a transform that requires processing with the Unicode (UTF-16) code page.
Other than the data source and data targets I do not see any option to set, or change, the codepage within any of transforms that I am using. (URAC, Name Cleanse, Query, Case, Match transforms are used)
Right now my source and targets are set to "default", which would seem to need to be changed. Where is the "default" set?
Sorry for so many questions about this.

  • Separate Start/Stop times for a single song file

    I am trying to create some playlists for different moods e.g. calm, happy, upbeat etc.
    Now, my problem is this. I have some songs that have more than one mood within them, and I would like to set different start/stop times for the one song file.
    I would like to be able to set different start/stop times in each playlist and not affect the start/stop times for the file in the music library.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

    The only way to do this is to make a duplicate copy of the song for your playlist and adjust the times for the duplicate.

  • Specific Start/End Times for Playlist Music?

    I'm someone that dabbles in music production and i like to work with samples. I know that in iTunes you can set the Start Times and End Times of songs so that you may skip a rediculously long intro or just euthanize a song whose ending drags on for minutes at a time. (I'm looking at you, The Mars Volta.)
    Anyway, when it comes to producing samples, sometimes when i listen to music i'll hear this one five-second piece that would make a great loop, and i write down the song name and the exact location of that interval. In iTunes, I attempted to create a "Samples" playlist with these songs in it, along with their Stop/Start Times sliced down exactly to that one sample. it's a great way to keep a log of what i plan to use in the future and keep good song ideas. Unfortunately, the Start/Stop Times set in iTunes are global, and affect the song no matter what Playlist is it on. Is this avoidable, or am i stuck? (Apple, please add this in your next iTunes release)
    -Dave

    Dave,
    You're stuck.
    Unless you want to duplicate the song and then make your adjustments.
    If it were me, I'd put the track I'm interested into GarageBand and cutting it down to just the bit I want and the send that version back to iTunes.

  • How to determine the creation date/time for a file?

    The important operating systems maintain both a creation date/time and last modified date/time for files. But in the File class there is only a lastModified() method. How does one determine the creation date/time for a file?

    As far as i know, there is no way to know creation time, since it is a OS dependant information.

  • I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11.  Each time that I adjust these times, the app does not accept the change, and automatically enters its own time. Am I doing something wrong?

    I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11.  Each time that I adjust these times, the application does not accept the change, and instead automatically enters its own time. Is there a work around this? Or am I doing something wrong? Please Help!
    Thank you,
    lagrl

    Have you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider.  iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
    Does this help.  Perhaps you already know this ?

  • I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion

    I have a problem sending mail via smtp. I use a satellite system and the average return time for a ping is 675ms. Is this a problem with mail? If so can I change Mail to accept it. The problem also exists with Lion and on both my MacPro and my wife's Imac. I also see my mailboxes randomly disconnecting and reconnecting. Any other ideas of a possible cause?

    I solved it myself, after the "note" which came back from FF/Mozilla just as I finished my message, commenting on what it was that my system had , I wnnt back to check my plug-ins etc. I downloaded the latest Java, BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit versions and latest Firefox.
    Now all is working.
    Thanks,
    B.

  • Manually specifying start/stop times for video

    When we insert a video into a Keynote presentation, we can adjust the start/stop times of the video (inspector -> Quicktime icon). The problem here is that it's very difficult to accurately adjust the sliders due to the small slider. Is there a way to extend the slider so that it's longer, or simply a way to manually specify the start/stop times?

    Unfortunately, there is not. Your best bet it to use Quicktime or iMovie to trim the movie down to just what you want to show and then you don't have to worry about setting it in Keynote. This will also save some file size as you don't have the video that you don't want to show taking up space in the Keynote file.

  • What is the boot up time for Mavericks using a 2.4 Ghz 13" MacBook Pro

    What is the boot up time for Mavericks using a 2.4 Ghz 13" MacBook Pro

    This will vary depending on what HDD/SSD option any system has been specked to, whether from apple or upgraded afterwards (depending on upgradable model)
    I have a late 2011 2.4 i5 13" upgraded to 16Gb ram and a Samsung 840 Pro SSD and my install of Mavericks boots in around 15 seconds. This is actually about the same as my 2008 core2duo macbook booted snow leopard with a Samsung 840 (non pro)
    You may find a system with less ram actually boots marginally quicker, but this would be marginal.
