MapInfo Professional supports server-side and proxy server authentication. If you use a proxy server
for Internet access and your routing server also requires user/password authentication, you authenticate
with the proxy server first. As a result, the Connection dialog box displays twice-once for the proxy
server and once for the routing server.
Setting Your Performance Preferences
MapInfo Professional runs some operations in parallel, using more than one CPU or processor core at
the same time. This improves the processing time when buffering an object in a table or selection, and
with overlay operations (such as Split, Erase, Erase Outside, Polyline Split, and Overlay Nodes).
You can turn this off, or specify that a percentage of the processors on your system run concurrent
operations.
By default, MapInfo Professional has full concurrency turned on, but you can select the level of
concurrency as a software preference:
• None – a single processor performs the operation. This option provides the least amount of processing
speed.
• Moderate – 25% of the processors on your system perform the operation.
• Intermediate – 50% of the processors on your system perform the operation.
• Aggressive – 75% of the processors on your system perform the operation.
• Full – all processors on your system perform the operation. This is the default setting MapInfo
Professional installs with.
To change the default concurrency setting:
1. On the Options menu, point to Preferences and click Performance to open the Performance
Settings dialog box.
2. Select a concurrency setting from the Concurrency Level list.
