Hi, somewhat unrelated to the thread: 6 or even 16 secs seem like an
eternity. What would be the disadvantages of using server-side
validation in such a case? I'm asking this because I keep wondering if
server-side validation is necessary anyway for non-JS visitors, why
not use Ajax and do the validation on the server and simply display
the errors using JS if available...
Please note that I never even tried to optimize the validation plugin
for performance. I never had to deal with "monster forms", and still
consider them problematic anyway. But it seems like there are quite a
few people who have to deal with those monster forms, once I've got a
testcase setup it should be possible to improve the performance a lot. I
just have to find the actual bottleneck.
I guess serializing a monster form and sending it via ajax and then
displaying messages via JS won't be that much faster.
