Studioweb Update - Speed

[administrator]

Hi,

 

So we decided to work on streamlining and speeding up StudioWeb's basic functionality. The most important thing to look at when it comes to any web app is the request/response cycle ... to improve that. But first, the most obvious thing you can do, is to just increase your server's speed:

 

• More RAM
  
• More CPU
  
• Faster disk drives
  
• Empty disk drives - <50% full disk always move much faster.
  

 

... That is coming very soon to StudioWeb. In the meantime, there are things you can do the application itself.

 

AJAX with JSON

 

StudioWeb makes heavy use of AJAX to submit answers to the server for processing. So we decided to utilize JSON to compress and send the data, rather than posting just a raw strings of text. What we get out of this, is a much faster response time from the users point of view.
