In TMG5 if you go to:
File > Maintenance > Performance Recommendations
the program suggests if the Auto Relationship tag is turned on that turning
it off it will improve your performance.

I had thought (as Richard says) that TMG5 took a while to calculate the
relationships but that the time used was a one time per request basis.

When Performance Recommendations suggests turning off Auto Relationship to
improve performance, however, it sounds like Auto Relationship is slowing
down TMG on an ongoing basis.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
