Dear all,
As a matter of general interest: my timeline (now with 2769 discrete
events) using an xml source file, has taken up to 9 minutes to load in FF
and never less than about 2.5 minutes. Translating the source file to json
and using new Date() objects for the dates instead of strings thus:
{'start': new Date(1216,2,15),
'end': new Date(1216,2,18)
}
produces a BIG performance increase. all 27k events now loads in my FF in
about 9.5 seconds.
note: using Date() objects obviates the need for an explicit
'dateTimeFormat': 'iso8601', declaration at the top of the file. so just:
{
'events' : [
{'start': new Date(1211,3,12),
.
.
.
Note especially: the js Date() object takes zero-indexed months:
0 => Jan, 1 => Feb, ..., 11 => Dec
Thanks David, Mason, et alia for help with this.
Jon
