Re: Handling large messages in BizTalk

In my recent experience while using biztalk 2006, I have found that using very large messages causes a huge performance hit.  If throughput speed is not an issue, and as long as you NEVER load the document into memory (through using xmldocument \ object serialization or anything that may require the entire document to be loaded ) you will find biztalk works, albeit very slowly.  If this is not part of a process or ESB I would suggest you use SSIS instead,  It is much quicker.
