RE: Slow Web Admin

["Ricky Thompson" <rthompson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks guys..  I was just playing around with webfacing a few programs and
it's taken me about 3 hours to do one very small program.  I finally got the
application installed and now I'm running it for the first time off the
AS/400.  It takes it almost 10 mins to load the Web Faced App.  Does anyone
actually use webfacing for a viable option.  Do you have to have 12-way
processor to get suitable results.  Boy I guess I better go buy Brad Stone's
book.  Long live CGIDEV2 :)

Thanks again guys.

Ricky,

We also have a 720 with 1 gig of memory and it's dog slow (especially
the first time you use it). Installing JDK 1.4 with the latest group
PTF's will help some but chances are you're either paging like crazy or
you have enough going on that it's CPU bound (you'll need to do some
investigation to see where your problems are). The 8xx and newer
hardware runs Java much better (the admin GUI for the Apache servers are
Java based) so short of buying a new box, your best bet for managing the
HTTP servers is probably going to be from the command line. About the
only things you can't do from the command line are create new HTTP
servers (not entirely true but it's not documented and there's a lot of
configuration you need to do manually) and manage certificates.
