Servoy Forum

As my solution grows bigger the amount of time it takes to load over an internet connection is increasing - no real surprise there, but I would be interested to know what factors make the biggest difference to this - is it number of forms, number (and length) of methods, table size, number of tables / fields etc.

I would be courious to hear the answer to this question too. How big is your current solution and how long does it take to load?

currently my solution has 38 tables and 149 forms - I haven't counted the number of fields / methods .

On a 56k dialup connection it takes nearly a minute to load after initial log-in. This is for second and subsequent loads - the first load for a solution or follwoing an update always takes much longer, about 3 mins.

The total element count is what matters (forms/fields/buttons etc.)
If you start a client it will download the solution once and never again (if no changes are made on server) the solution is stored in the userdir/.servoy on windows like "C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\.servoy" so you can check how big it is as file to give you an idea.

Performance tip: for use over the internet use SecureSocketLayer (enable via the admin page) this will speedup the download (compress the solution) and all the client/server data transfer is secure.
