The following will help in increasing performance:
Set map to initially invisible
When creating map configurations ensure that the maps are set to “initially invisible” in the Spectrum admin console. This will ensure that when a user first browses to Spectrum they will not have to wait for a potentially a large number of map requests to render before the page is completed. Users can enable/disable maps once the page is loaded. Initial load times are important for a user’s initial perception of the application.
Add more layers into map groups
When creating maps in MapInfo Professional try to group multiple layers into them rather than having one layer per map. Users can still be given the ability enable and disable the display of individual layers within a map if needed. But by having them in the same map it reduces the number of map render requests made.
