Simon Moreau has put together and shared some API code that allows him to track the time taken to open and work with Revit models. I can see this would be a good way to identify “problem” Revit central files that were taking a long time for users to sync. Once the problem models are identified, they could be fixed, and people might be happy 🙂

From bim42:
It is now possible to quickly create very precise graph displaying opening time of different model, compare them and show their evolution along time

Info:

The Revit platform’s performance can depend as much on the knowledge, skill, and practices of its users as on the hardware environment provided for the software. To address both of these areas, the Revit platform team has assembled this collection of hardware requirements, recommendations, and modeling best practices as researched by both internal development and our community of dedicated customers.
