[pmwiki-users] Question regarding slow page loading with attr set

[Hans Bracker]

Hello Petko, 
please ignore previous mail gone just to you, I messed up the lines with thetimings accidently!

I did some testing with the newest subversion, comparing to the latest stable version.
There appears to be a small amount of improved speed, great!
But I still get a huge difference between loading time of a page having a password set with action=attr and the same without such setting.
It doubles the loading time, or worse. And that is the case with the new subversion , the same as with the stable version.
There is no real difference, perhaps a small speed increase.
A simple test page with just five (:if auth ..:) conditionals was loading 
*  subversion: 2.8sec compared to 3 sec stable, with attribute set.
* 1 sec for both with no attribute set.

If I disable the conditional markups, i.e. no markup calls from these, just five text lines,  then the page loading is:
*  subversion: 1.34 sec compared to 1.61 sec stable, with attribute set.
* 1 sec for both with no attributes set.

Tested this with my amber skin, local machine,  without any conditionals in action or sidebar etc. pmwiki skin will be slightly faster.

I checked the calls to function ReadPage, and there is the same number of calls for both versions and both scenarios. I thought I may have less with the new caching helping, but no, exactly the same. So not sure what is going on.


cheers,
Hans
