Sorry I have never used any profiler tool, I just read here (http://www.infoq.com/articles/Rails-Performance) that the link_to helper can be slow and tried removing it
I suggest you look at the logs to determine if it's the rendering or the activerecord that is causing the performance problems in your application If your database is too big (hundreds of thousands of rows) your queries may run slow if they are not using the indexes. Use EXPLAIN + the sql to verify if the indexes are being used You may also need to use includes or joins to avoid too many queries. The infoq link i posted before explain how to do this If the problem is in the rendering try removing some of the helpers such as link_to and check if performance improves. You may also use fragment caching to speed up There's also this page in the rails guides about profilers. I've never used it so I don't know if it helps http://guides.rubyonrails.org/performance_testing.html And also this railscast http://railscasts.com/episodes/161-three-profiling-tools -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
