When running simple code from an automation to retrieve data from different elements. We are getting significant different results for the execution time, we are trying to identify what factors could be affecting this.

var iDms = engine.GetDms();
var element = iDms.GetElement(new DmsElementId(dmaId, elementId));

var sourcesTable = element.GetTable(3000);
var sourcesData = sourcesTable.GetData();

var destinationsTable = element.GetTable(4000);
var destinationsData = destinationsTable.GetData();

watch.Stop();

engine.GenerateInformation("@@@@ Done getting the data. Time spent: " + watch.ElapsedMilliseconds + " number of inputs retrieved: " + sourcesData.Count + " Outputs: " + destinationsData.Count);

For example when running the code above on element A we get this result

@@@@ Done getting the data. Time spent: 3291 number of inputs retrieved: 2560 Outputs: 1536 (Script 'TestTemp')

For element B which is a smaller element and therefore in theory should take less time to get the data the opposite is happening.

@@@@ Done getting the data. Time spent: 20152 number of inputs retrieved: 1024 Outputs: 512 (Script 'TestTemp')

Both elements are on the same DMA which is part of a cluster. So going from 3 seconds to 20 that's almost 7x difference. Apart from the size of the data getting retrieved, what other factors could be affecting the execution time?
