NOTES:
This model was developed with ConnectedText v. 5.
If your model (see p. 10 above) ends up containing a long daisy chain with hundreds of “included” topics, then the processing time of rendering or saving the topics sitting at the top end of the chain may increase considerably. It takes between 1 to 1.5 minutes to render my “findings” topic on my PC (Intel Core i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80 GHz, with 8.0 GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit). I have 560 topics, though not all of them are “included” or have “includes” from other topics. You just need to be patient, as CT is checking and updating every single topic in the daisy chain.
