the requirement we are trying to meet is scalability... To get scalability in our app we have to reduce network calls by each user.
Thus we are bundling data of 3-4 web pages in one webpage transfer. Or for autosuggestion box, we are transferring all possible suggestions (in hundreds) in one transfer. Or we are sending the heavy weight data model etc etc. Now above works for users with reasonably high speed broadband but for slow users this optimization may not work out .. (btw: we have whole professional survey going on to get user's broadband speed data but it will take 2 month before we get this number).. (thus we have to continue with wise guess instead of waiting) Thus the original question.... On Jul 15, 8:08 pm, Ian Petersen <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't personally have an answer for you.
