To many Cubes and dimensions?   
I have an OLAP database with 150 cubes and each of the cubes have 12
dimensions.  Response times of MDX queries are fine, but Processing
times of the cubes seems to be increasing as I add more cubes. If the
cube is the only one in a database it takes only a few seconds to
process, but when its in a database with lots of other cubes it takes
about 1 minute to process (This is before any data is actually in the
fact table). Anyone have any ideas on how to solw this problem?

Re: To many Cubes and dimensions?   
well... the server has limited resources...
first, what are your expectations? what is your target? (in seconds)

you can spread the cube among different disks (insure that the raid 
controller is setup for 100% write cache), add CPU, use real time cubes 
instead of MOLAP cubes, improve the number of parallel processing tasks

but 1 minute is nothing for 150 cubes.

Re: To many Cubes and dimensions?   
Well one minute was to process one cube not all 150. If I place the
cube in an different database , but on the same server and the same
disks it will process in a few seconds. So it seems that having many
cubes in the same database slows down the processing time. It looks
like it takes 1 minute to actually start processing when I have 150
cubes in the same database.

Re: To many Cubes and dimensions?   
when SSAS process a cube, a transaction is made
larger the database is , slower the transaction is.

try to play with the advanced processing options to use multiple 
transactions instead of 1
