I am posting this just to confirm if anyone else is having same concern. If its a common concern, I hope CWP team considers this as a positive feedback

The menu on CWP admin (left menu), it takes 3 seconds, sometimes 6 to expand after clicked.
It drags the whole point of GUI.

It feels like working on a low end PC too slow to process.

I tried on 3 -4 pcs Intel i3, i5 with 2GB free RAM and still same. also repeats across all browsers.

----
If this cannot be fixed, atleast a link on top to expand all menu at once would make it more convinient.



Also the dashboard
It keeps updating process details / memory statistics every second.
We should have an option to turn it off. We sure can login without stats, but as soon as we go to some other option and return it still returns.

It just makes the whole GUI too heavy at times.

new version will have the option to disable auto-loading or to change the value of it.

I support "ashokjp" opinion on navigation delay. Will you do anything about it? Because navigation sidebar is static so why this delay?

Administrator

new cwp 0.9.7 has an option to disable load, and all live stats which are slowing down menu response.

edoniti

Where is that option, the one that is on login? Because that does not fast things up. And are you sure that the load is making menu heavy sliding? Because menu is one time loaded and then using javascript opened and closed right?

Administrator

by clicking on the load you can disable load.

Menu is still slow. Menus should be instant on click.

You can force menu expansion onload using jquery with easy as a temporal solution.

I use GreaseMonkey, but for a "al pc's solution" you need to edit at least one file of the install. (ie, the index.php)

I got also the slooow menu issue even with load disabled.
8==D it's a function that try to compare 8 (int) against D (string) which returns True or False depending on the asker.

I have slow menu with load disabled

The problem i about the main screen, not just the load function.

All the data on the main panel has a little time interval to refresh. Every time you click on the menu, all the panel seems waiting for synced javascript code execution untill you can press a item again.

If you go to some other menu section and play the menu doesn't became slow.

I guess all this is about sync/async javascript functions.

In my experience the main shortcoming is the sub-menus that need to be fetched with javascript/ajax everytime you click that portion of menu...
I guess having the whole menu already loaded would be a big boost in the surfing experience

my two cents!

Thx banane, i also prefer a static full menu instad a buggy javascript...

Little buttons, less scroll, less wait :D

anyone success with slow menu?

I too would say that the menu is slow
I vote for static menus that get loaded when first loggin in which is reasonable
it really feels laggy the way it is now
