Heavy GUI Slow Menu

We tried this product last year, but it was not ready for prime time. It did not have a file manager and other features. We use Webmin/Virtualmin which is a great product but we wanted to try something similar to cpanel look and feel. Well loaded it a few days back. It has come a long way, with file manager, but no zip extraction utility, or download option. So to me it is useless, just view files, which I can do with Filezilla.

Now to add to this topic, menu is very very slow. Slower than last years version. So whatever happened between last year and now, broke the left navigation menu. click - wait for 3 -5 seconds for drop down to move. Completely worthless. I read the suggestions about javascripts and different opinions. I am no programmer so I come from a end users view point. If I have to click on a menu and then get a cup of coffee before the drop down works, guess what I am not using this.

My one suggestion for the developers of this. You have created a beautiful product that is close to cpanel. So please have some non programmers test the thing and listen to end user feed back instead of getting caught up in programmer speak. Have this beautiful GUI actually work. The button on the top of the left navigation does nothing either.

Comparing it to Virtualmin/webmin which is the other end and gives you too much info. But we were able to add templates to Virtualmin and make it look like this and hide a lot of the functions that end users do not care. We want to offer an alternative to cpanel to our users and as such their feed back is our prime driver.

So please fix these issues. I am using the latest version.

The "lag" issue goes beyond just the navigation menu roll down.

Go to a page with form input fields, ie. Add Email Account.  Quickly type a long string in the password field... I have had letters skipped in doing so.  Pasting a string into fields has also occasionally resulted in the pasted text being truncated.

Hopefully the overall problem causing these issues will be addressed in the next release.

slow menu is only related with slow/overloaded servers, you can disable top5 process list and live load, this will improve left menu speed.

New fresh install server. With just one test account. Almost zero traffic and process. Still have the exact same slow navigation. Left menu, few seconds to load if you're lucky (Admin Panel, not Client Panel).

Sometimes, it's not responding when click and need a second click. This is really weird...

if you have a slower server then you need to disable a live load in your admin area if you want to speed up your menu.

every expand click make AJAX post query to server. What for ? I do not know
