I am in Austria, Europe and I find that it takes about 4s to load a page. I do not have the firebug plugin.

Any ideas. The tool is super and I would like to use it but it is a bit slow at the moment.

We’ve found that performance is an issue for some international users and we’re working to get to the bottom of it. If you don’t mind, send me an email offline (melinda@liquidplanner.com). If I can get a little more information from you that will help us identify the issue so we can find a way to fix it.

Hi all,

So far (well, the first half a day) with LP is eye-opening. Many thanks for making this happen. I do have the same question regarding slow load – does Firebug affect indeed performance?

Firebug does slow down LP. On the upside, LP is really fast with the FF3 Beta. Our Data Center is located in Seattle, WA so latency issues can come into play depending on how far away you are. A good practice for getting the best performance is to group your tasks into containers and use the outline tools to work with smaller parts of the plan at any given time. My favorite trick is to filter down to one container at a time. The quick way to do this is select a container, find the filter label in the tool bar and click the selection link to the right of it.

As an additional note, there is a bug in one of the Javascript libraries we use (ExtJS it’s awesome) with the current FireFox 3 Beta, where the date picker goes crazy when setting a “Promise Date” or a “Delay Until”, otherwise it’s great.

We (the illustrious developers) are working on performance with each release, so expect things to get progressively better.
