Hello,

I need to create a web-gui for an existing Lisp application and looked
around for existing web-frameworks. I liked the ideas behind weblocks,
but never had the occasion until now to use it for something real. I
downloaded it today and after some twaeks to make it run (on LW 5.1.2/
Windows/32-bit), I stumbled upon the performance of the demo
application, even after minutes of clicking around, to avoid
inefficiencies, coming from compiling or preloading some data on
startup of the demo :

1. to switch between the "Employees" and "Companies" views takes on my
computer about 14 seconds;
2. to switch back to the "Employess" view takes the same 14 seconds;
3. to sort the emloyees by whatever takes about 4 seconds;
4. when i delete one of the employees, it takes about 5 seconds to get
the confirmation box and another 5 to update the data in the browser;
5. clicking on "select all" above the employess' table, which has 2
rows at that moment takes about 4 seconds;
6.clicking on the "refresh"-button in firefox 3.0.7 after that,
produces a request to the server, which takes 18 seconds to complete.

In every single case - the CPU is going between 50% (for the most) and
up to 99% for the rest time of the processing of the client request.
The processing time is eaten in the weblocks-server running in the
LispWorks-image. The computer I use is a dual-core 2.4ghz with 3gb ram
and WinXP.

I'm really new to weblocks, so my question: is this cpu/time-burning
something inherent to the current architecture of weblocks, if yes -
is there a hope to have it better? Or is it connected with the demo
itself? Or can it be connected with the fact, that i didn't install it
using clbuild, but loading all the newest versions of weblocks and the
required libraries manually?

With best regards
Plamen
