How can I reduce the time taken for Simulation Data Inspector to load and plot signals?

How can I reduce the time taken for Simulation Data Inspector (SDI) to load and plot signals? For example, when applying a saved view file to simulation results, or when loading a saved SDI session?

To improve SDI saving/loading performance, one recommendation would be to increase the 'Memory limit' in your SDI preferences:

For loading views, another suggestion would be to load the view before opening the SDI UI, i.e:

>> Simulink.sdi.close();\n>> Simulink.sdi.loadView('yourFile.mldatx');\n>> Simulink.sdi.view();

This should be significantly faster than loading the view with the SDI UI open. 

Alternatively, you can turn the AutoArchiveMode for SDI off:

Refer to the following page for more information. Also, take a look at the 'Control Data Retention' section on the same page:
