MindManager 9 feels a bit faster and claims to open maps significantly faster, so I timed how fast it took to refresh my daily action dashboard compared with MindManager 8.2. MindManager 9.1 took 3:45 while MIndManager 8.2 took only 3:15.

Welcome to ActivityOwner.com -- a site focused on the use MindManager macros, ResultsManager dashboards, and GyroQ tags for personal productivity and Getting Things Done.
I have been personal and corporate user of ResultsManager since March 2005. This site is my way of trying contribute something back to the internet community as well as to to organize my understanding of GTD and management. The MindReader, Outlinker, Mark Task Complete, Next Action Analysis, and Map2Excel add-ins are worth a look and can be installed by downloading setup programs.
Readers here have provided great ideas and tips along the way, so be sure to search or read through the archives and add to the comments. You can follow developments on the site by subscribing to email updates or by following the site on RSS, Twitter, or Facebook.

Admittedly, I have no idea how the dashboard is technically produced, but is performance directly related to MM?
I always assumed RM was crawling through the maps to retrieve the next uncompleted tasks and MM was merely rendering the tasks in the dashboard as RM finds them. Your test suggests that RM is calling some MM functionality other than that.

ResultsManager has a couple of programming components, but the core is a SAX-basic macro that runs within mindmanager and interacts with the MindManager object model/functions to harvest maps and stores the information in the dashboard. I think interacting with MindManager API with external software code may be much slower.
