Hi I have a question regarding our landing page load times.
It has always taken a while to load the JS-files, since they are pretty big. But we are currently switching production environment and have thought about some strange stuff. Hoping for some input.
When i load for example the ISC_Core using the URL with firebug, the file takes lets say 200ms to load in the browser from our old environment, and 140ms to load from our new machine. HOWEVER, when i load our landing-page (index.jsp, which loads the smart gwt app), the file takes 480ms to load on our old machine, and 2-3 Seconds(!) on the new one.
Stuff like DB benchmarks etc. are way faster on the new hardware, but for some reason, the ISC_core, and the other ISC-js static JS files have way longer load times in the new environment in firebug, resulting in a slower total load time for our landing page. Also, just by visual inspection, the page takes longer to load in safari, chrome etc, despite the way better hardware.
The only thing I can think of is something related to parallell loading of resources, since the landing page loads lots of stuff at the same time as you know.
This is very strange to us, and we're no experts. Have you seen this behaviour, do you have any ideas? Also, in general, is there anything one can do to reduce the size of the smartgwt library? (We're already running pro and upgraded to 6 a couple of days back, but running on 5.1).
Would be great if you could chime in.
