[ovirt-users] ovirt-webadmin is too slow

[Einav Cohen]

we have done a few optimizations to the overall loading time of the 
application, a couple [1] in 3.5, another one [2] will be available 
in 3.6. 

some of these optimizations made the initial loading time of each 
main tab (i.e. first main tab selection right after login) a bit 
slower, but after waiting for a *very* short period of time of 
letting the main-tab finalize its loading, the ux should be fairly 
seamless. 

I assume that some other factors may be affecting the ux, such as 
the load on your engine server (you mentioned you have 120 VMs - 
how many of them are up? how many Hosts do you have? how strong is 
your engine server machine / how does the mem/cpu/net performance 
of your engine-server machine look like? any suspicious messages 
in your engine/server.log?), the connectivity between your engine-
server and your hypervisors, as well as between your engine-server 
and your client [3], the fact that this is a pretty advanced Firefox 
on a deprecated Windows OS [4], etc. 

there is also a ux problem of contents in the page being highlighted 
sometimes when doing multi-selection [5] - we are aware of that. 

my recommendation would be to test a different client (preferably 
Linux), ensure that the engine is not overloaded and ensure that 
the engine <-> hypervisors connectivity and the engine <-> client 
connectivity are reasonable. 

Alexander (and/or others) can share thoughts as well, if any.

[3] from our experience, a 120ms engine<->client connectivity should 
work pretty well, but a 220ms connectivity, for example, will be more 
prone to ux problems such as a 'stuck' UI.
