Spotfire's proprietary high performance in-

memory engine, exact functioning is not
known but looks like it doesn't load all the data
into memory, performance drops with large
data volume and multiple joins.
In Spotfire the In-memory processing 3
eliminates the go get step completely,
because for analytical purposes all the relevant
data is loaded into super-speedy RAM memory
all the time, and therefore does not have to be
accessed from disk storage. So the time factor
changes dramatically.
