Is the performance of the data mapper effected by the number of extract steps?

A project I am trying to support was built with each data extraction in the data mapper as a separate “Step” instead of each field being extracted in a single data extraction step.

Do we know if this would effect the performance of the data mapping step? Would it increase the processing speed if I re-wrote the datamapper to capture all of the fields in a single step?

Secondly, is there any easy way to combine these together without deleting and re-creating every single field mapping?

The performance would be marginally enhanced, but i don’t think you’d get any kind of significant performance boost out of it.

And no, there is no way to combine several extract steps into one. So given both those facts, and unless your DM Config is really slow, you’re better off keeping it as it is now.
