slow response opening large web form

[marcik]

We are experiencing excruciatingly slow response when opening large web form files.

I have found the following post regarding this issue: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=8012&p=26345&hilit=slow+web+form#p26345 It didn't shed much light on the subject, except to say that it's an issue with whatever version existed back at that time.

We are using Alfresco-Labs_3Stable version of the product.

Is there anything we can do to speed up the loading of the web forms? We have tried JVM tuning and that seems to speed up much of Alfresco, but did little to enhance performance for loading web forms.

Please let me know if I can provide more information to aid in troubleshooting this issue.

Thanks so much!!

Something else that will truly kill performance is long dropdown lists that are filled via webscripts. I've found that the upper end of acceptable performance is maybe 3 lists with a max of 30 items each.

If lists are concerned, as far as I can tell, 50% of the lag is caused by how the long the webscripts (in series) take to execute and the other 50% is in the javascript assembling the form.

Good luck.

thanks for the tips.

it's really crazy. some of the larger pages take the better part of AN HOUR to load. it's ridiculous.

we're "afraid" to upgrade (given the fragility of the product), but that might be the only answer.

what is the upgrade path from Alfresco-Labs_3Stable ??

maybe i should make a new post…
