Each object carousel will have a different cycle time. This will depend on a number of factors, which will include the bitrate at which the carousel is transmitted, the size of the data in the carousel, and whether some modules are repeated more often than others.

Because of this, it's impossible to give one answer that covers all carousels, or even to give a good answer for your carousel without knowing a lot more information.

Thank u steve for ur information.In an MHP terminal to run an application donloaded through carousel whether one can download whole applcation class files based on the information from AIT(Base directory, class paths). My question is in order to run an application whether all class files have to be downloaded before running the applcation or during runtime the class files have to be loaded. In the latter case the applcation will be very slow while running but in the former case after the initial delay in loading files the application runs smoothly.

Not all class files have to be downloaded before the app can start - like any other java platform, an MHP box will load the initial class and then load other classes as necessary.

The nature of DSM-CC means that any classes carried in the same DSM-CC module may get cached, so loading the main class may cause other classes ot be cached, but this isn't guaranteed. This is starting to get in to the area of carousel optimization, where you can organize your files into modules depending on when they are used in order to make the most of this caching behaviour.
