Summary0032769: Data Exchange - Slow processing of very large STEP file
DescriptionI am testing our NIST STEP to X3D translator that is based on OCCT 7.6.0 with very large STEP files. The largest STEP file that I have is about 1.5 GB. It takes about 30-40 minutes to process in CAD Assistant and our software. However, in two other free viewers (C3D Viewer, eDrawings Viewer) it only takes about 5 minutes. Is there something to be improved to reduce the processing time? I think the slow part is actually reading the STEP file.

For the "STEP Reader Failures", they are all related to strings that are either two single quotes '' or a dollar sign $. In both cases they are meant to indicate that the attribute is a blank string. I would not consider them failures nor anything to be reported.

On my computer, both eDrawings Viewer and C3D Viewer displayed the STEP file in about 4 minutes. CAD Assistant took 39 minutes.

Any improvement in processing would be great.

    0032769: Data Exchange - Slow processing of very large STEP file
    
    - Set on optimized memory manager by default

Most of the time was spent on pcurves computing, where in turn a lot of time is spent on memory allocation in Extrema_GenExtPS class.
Memory allocation works much faster if the optimized memory manager is used. In my machine it takes 12 min instead of 35 min with the standard raw memory manager. So, propose to set the optimized memory manager by default, when environment variable "MMGT_OPT" is not set.
