Note: you can get a quick optimization of the openPDC run-time assemblies by using the .NET native image cache NGen. To apply these optimizations after the openPDC has been installed, run the following commands from an administrative console:

• CD "C:\Program Files\openPDC\"
• C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen install openPDC.exe
• C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen install TVA.PhasorProtocols.dll
• C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen install HistorianAdapters.dll
• C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen install PowerCalculations.dll
• C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen install ICCPExport.dll
