We have noticed this as well. In fact, one of our resource records is large 
enough that it won’t open on the staff interface at all.

Hi everyone,

We're running into an issue with a large resource record in ArchivesSpace and 
wonder if anyone has experienced a similar issue. In one resource record, we 
have a series/archival object with around 19,000 direct children/archival 
objects. We've found that:

  *   it takes several minutes to open the series in the 'tree' navigation view 
and then, once opened scrolling through series is very slow / laggy
  *   it takes a couple of minutes to open any archival object in the series in 
edit mode and
  *   it takes a couple of minutes to save changes to any archival object 
within the series

Does anyone else have a similarly large archival object in a resource record? 
If so, have you observed the same long load/save time when editing the 
component records?

The slow load time does not seem to be affected by memory allocation; we've 
tried increasing the speed / size of the server and it seemed to have no 
effect. We'd definitely appreciate any other suggestions for how we might fix 
or work around the problem.

We also wonder if this performance issue is essentially caused by the queries 
being run to generate the UI view - i.e. perhaps in generating the resource 
'tree' view, all data for the whole series (all 19k archival objects) is being 
retrieved and stored in memory? If so, we wondered if it would be possible and 
would make sense to change the queries running during tree generation, etc. to 
only retrieve some batches at a time, lazy loading style?

Thanks,
Weatherly and Sally
