Building an application takes a lot of time

[Jornik]

Hello,

i am developing an application that contains a lot of very small images (~17 000, size 1-2KB each).

Problem is when i am trying to build the application - it takes a lot of time (10-15 minutes). Another problem is with installation of the application - only small portion of the resources is actually installed (~2 000).

Anyone else experienced this problem? Is there anything i could do to speed it up and to fix the installation problem?

Thanks in advance.

Loading that many images is why it is taking so long - not sure about Pages since I haven't dived into it yet, but if there is a paging mechanism available, breaking up those images into logical blocks (say >100 per page) would speed up loading significantly.

Hi, thanks for the reply

Yes, images are the problem, i added index to the core_theme_resources table and it is little bit better.

Problem occurs in developer mode, when i try to build my custom app, or when i am installing my custom app on a fresh installation of IPS.

I added index to the core_theme_resources table and it reduced time needed for the build, but installation still takes around 20 minutes.

 

I guess i will have to dig in to the IPS code and see if i can somehow speed it up (for example using multi inserts) ;).
