just to be clear we're running localhost on an i7 with 8g ram. The benchmark is taken returning back to the *admin/default/design/someapp *page from inside a controller. (hitting the *back* button to right of screen) (original reply may have been a bit confusing)
Benchmarks with Win7 1. Chrome 22.0.1229.94 and inspecting: /admin/default/design 5.36 sec for 816k, (repeatable) controller folder size 284k, Models 137k, Views 317k. 2. firefox 16.0.1 / firebug 1.10.5 - 5.66 sec wait, 93ms receiving, 7.96 sec onload from initial request (repeatable) Don't think twiiter feeds are an issue (that's at the high level site screen) Doing the reverse and editing the same controller is fine @ 201ms for 44kb Will reboot with Ubuntu 10.4 on same machine / application and test. --
