RE: IBM Navigator for i on 7.1

I've got a 8202-E4B, and I don't use Nav for i because of how slow it is. When I raised the issue of speed, I was told that it's my problem.

Subject: IBM Navigator for i on 7.1

I'm having my first encounter with the web-based IBM Navigator for i, on Power 7 hardware (Power 720 Express, 8202-E4D), and I'm fascinated by how exceedingly slow it is.

I used to consider the IBM System i Navigator client slow, but it is usable. This web-based thing is waaaay beyond that. How is it possible that it's that slow? What could it possibly be doing? Two minutes ago I clicked on "Table Partitions" (under Database -> All Tasks -> Actions -- I don't even know how long it took to get that far) and typed this sentence (slowly) and it just now finished. And all it managed to do is display a dropdown that has nothing in it, and a text box asking me to select the table for which to show partitions.

I was looking for Run SQL Scripts, but at this rate it make take 15-20 minutes to find it.
