Gentlemen, I got a sandbox up on my TonidoPlug with no problems whatsoever. It even handled the sample data import, going up to about 70% consumption of the 512MB of memory (no swap), taking forever, but managing it.
This is using a cheap, literally falling-apart 4G USB key for the sandbox's file system. Starting up with an empty database takes about a minute and a half. Basic serving of web pages is fine, running my selenium scripts on an empty database is fine. With a full database of 1000 students and two school years, it takes more like five minutes to start. Loading the person index the first time takes about 10 seconds, and paging through persons after that takes maybe two seconds. Random clicking around is fine. Clicking on "edit individuals" on the section index page takes about a minute and a half. I'm loading the sample data on my desktop to see how long it takes there. My uninformed guess would be that it is doing relationship lookups for every student and that's the slowdown. I hope what this tells us that we'll have to do more careful optimization before really shipping a $99 SchoolTool appliance because the system is generally less tolerant of inefficient algorithms -- but that it can be done. Overall, performance doesn't have to be *FAST* on this, but it just can't be minute and a half slow. --Tom _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~schooltool-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~schooltool-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
