You are conducting a design review of a multidimensional project. In the geography dimension, all non-key attributes relate directly to the key attribute. The underlying data of the geography dimensio

LazyAggregations defers aggregation building to query time rather than processing time, which can actually hurt query performance under load.

When attribute relationships are explicitly defined, SSAS knows that certain attributes functionally depend on others, allowing it to avoid storing redundant aggregations and to optimize query plans. This directly improves both dimension processing speed (fewer aggregations to compute) and query performance (more efficient aggregation navigation). Because the underlying data already supports these relationships, defining them is a low-risk, high-reward change.

ProcessingPriority controls the order in which objects are processed when processing multiple objects simultaneously, not the speed or efficiency of processing.

GroupingBehavior is a hint for client tools about how to group dimension members and has no impact on server-side query or processing performance.
