I'm going to set the processor processing time.
I want to read the processing time by referring to the global table instead of inputting the processing time directly to the processor.
How much does FlexSim's calculation time worsen when I refer to a global table like this?
Since we plan to use a large number of objects, we want to keep the deterioration of calculation time small.

Returning a numeric literal will be faster than looking up a table value. You can test this easily in a script window by running the nodefunction thousands of times and comparing the result.
If you're concerned about speed to could try creating a Map of process times and use that instead, or use a table with an index.
Please tell me more.
Does a "numeric literal" mean double-clicking on a 3D object and entering the process time in its properties?
How do I create "a Map of process times" and "table with an index"?
Are these different from global tables?
A Map can be on a label of an object or it can be a global variable. It can be keyed by anything - so an object, product type or an array that combines the two. In the past I've done this at reset.
