Extracting data from our FactSet database, especially the "financial data" and the "entity info" data, is very time consuming and ends up extracting a lot of data that is ultimately not used. I believe there are a number of strategies that could be employed to optimize that code, e.g. filtering further to reduce the outputs and/or restructuring/reordering the commands.
