Massive Slowdown Issue - XSL - XML

#1 (**permalink**) 12-02-2008, 07:53 PM

I had been running a page on w2k IIS5 that used spry, and then upgraded to 2k3
IIS6 and around the same time everything massively slowed down. We didnt
upgrade our browsers in the organization, which makes me suspect the server
upgrade. The only customization required to make the spry "work" was enabling
the mime type for .rss and .xml

.rss application/rss+xml
.xml application/xml

Can anyone relate? =)http://city.pg.bc.ca/jobshttp://city.pg.bc.ca/jobs

Hi whoomp bstyle dingle,

Sounds like a problem on your server. Have you tried loading your XML/RSS urls
directly into the browser and seeing how long it takes to show up in the
browser?

By the way, your URL doesn't work for me.

Thank you Kin the correct page link is here
http://www.city.pg.bc.ca/pages/jobs/

I checked the xml and rss page speeds and they are almost instantaneous. See
here;

If I turn off JavaScript so that *NO* Spry is ever factored in, the page still
suffers a significant lag. Using Firebug to watch the files load, it looks like
the page, js and CSS files load instantaneously, but the last 4 images seem to
take a long time.

If you want to factor out Spry from the equation for debugging this, comment
out the Spry JS includes and the script block that creates your data set.

I made a .php file which just contains <html><body>hello world</body></html> it still lags.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that your server is using chunked
encoding?

Chunked encoding is typically used to keep a connection alive when the server
is going to keep sending several packets of data (chunks). I don't think the
onload event happens until that connection is terminated/closed.

Thanks a lot Jay! This thread is solved and should be closed by moderators.
