Several of the projects I’m working on for Federatial clients involve large wikis, in the 10MB to 100MB range. I’ve posted before about the surprisingly good performance of such large wikis, and recently worked on improving performance further through the introduction of more sophisticated indexing strategies.
As an experiment, today I just tried combining the data from several large wikis to make a compound wiki that weighs in at 874.9MB (nearly a gigabyte!). To my astonishment, Chrome and Firefox will both run it with reasonable performance (Safari complains about resource usage). The wiki actually only contains 60 tiddlers, of which 13 are plugins containing a total of 64,202 shadow tiddlers (this project uses plugins to package wiki content). There are just over 3,000 images, weighing in at about 197MB of base64 encoded text. I don’t think such large wikis are practical for everyday use right now, but they certainly will be in the next few years. (None of this is actually to praise TiddlyWiki; it’s the hardworking browser engineers over the last decade that we have to thank). Best wishes Jeremy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
