The Maplex Label Engine provides a special set of tools that allows you to improve the quality of the labels on your map. With the Maplex Label Engine, you can define parameters to control the positioning and size of your labels; the Maplex Label Engine then uses these parameters to calculate the best placement for all the labels on your map. Using the Maplex labeling engine is the slowest way to draw labels. Maplex offers more options, is more computationally advanced, and places more labels than the standard ArcMap labeling engine. Although Maplex offers good labeling, it can slow down map caching.
