I noticed this as well. I am sometimes running xampp and limesurvey from a usb stick and before the login screen is shown in 205 it takes a long, long time and a lot of data seems to be loaded. With 2.0 its just a few seconds.

When debug is activated, all assets for bootstrap are republished on every single page. With debug deactivated all should be running at normal speed.

I think we should discuss if we need this re-publish mode the way it is now or maybe add a different setting for that like we did with the sql debug mode.

This was in non-debug mode.

Ok unable to reproduce that on my install (both show in 300-400ms). Only issue is with debug mode. Can push a fix for that if needed.

For me the total size is 972kb and loads in < 400ms.
Biggest contributors to page size are:
jqgrid 255kb
jqueryui js 222kb
bootstrap css 100kb
jquery js 90 kb
jquery qtip 40kb

We can remove jqgrid if we use CGridView instead --> that is used in the plugin manager screen.

sammousa: takes MUCH longer here. Could you tell me how I can measure this using XAMPP? Thanks!

Note btw that this can be decided on a per page basis, as it is the survey list is a bit clunky in my opinion anyway.

mfaber: using FireBug and NetWork screen :)

When running LS via XAMPP from an USB stick, it takes 10 seconds to show login screen of 2.00+ but 2-3 minutes for 2.05.

I think part of the problem is the amount of data written into tmp/assets in 2.05.

Before even seeing the login screen of 2.05, nearly 900 files, >130 folders and ~7 MB of data were created here.

In 2.00+ tmp/assets does not seem to be created/needed.

mfaber, the assets folder is a sort of cache. Only on first page load or when debugging is enabled are these files created / copied.

I'd like to close this tickets unless someone wants to come up with some numbers based on 2.05 without debugging vs 2.00+ without debugging.
Especially real benchmarks where you load the page 1000+ times...

In my experience 2.05 is just as fast if not faster.

sammousa, can't promise 1000+ page load benchmarks but I'll look into this issue over the weekend and give you feedback.

sammousa: cannot reproduce anymore... issue seems to have been resolved. Close?
