[opencms-dev] Slow Java navigation

[Hartmann, Waehrisch & Feykes GmbH]

turn off java script on a slow client machine and look how long it takes to
load the page. You will see that it is the java script that causes the
delay.
(if i remember well the hierMenues makes heavy usage of document.write,
loops and so on to generate the layers) You could speed this up by letting
OpenCms generate the layers. Don't know how much you'll have to patch the
hiermenues.

Stephan

Subject: [opencms-dev] Slow Java navigation


Hello everybody,

we've got the following problem with OpenCMS: The intranet of our company
was developed with OpenCMS. We're using Java script HierMenues for
navigation. This navigation gets generated dynamically by reading the
folder structure of OpenCMS. Because the intranet is growing fast and a lot
of new content is added, it gets slower and slower. It takes up to 15
seconds on older computers for the navigation to load. The CPU-trash
reaches 100%. This is much to slow for effective working.
The question is which component causes this delay? Could it be the
execution of the Java script at client site or is it the dynamic
generation?

We'd appreciate every hint which helps us to accelerate this process.

Best regards,

Markus
