Bug ID: 49685
Summary: VisualEditor: slow to handle large articles
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified

This is more of a tracking bug than anything else, but it should be something
people are aware of and something that's formally logged; the VisualEditor is
very slow on large articles, to the point where it causes confusing output.
Using the example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice - I edited this
and it took a good 20 seconds just to render 'review changes', and another 20
to save. David Gerard did the same and the server popped up "Error saving data
to server: timeout." with both 'review' and 'save'. Despite this, it saved
anyway.
Obviously as a long-term thing: we shouldn't have an editor so slow that
someone in an industrialised, Western nation (i.e. the UK) can't make things
work.[1] As a short-term thing, we shouldn't be informing users "something has
gone terribly, terribly wrong, abort!" when it has actually saved.
[1] It's David Gerard, he's not going to be using dial-up.
