We use the Open Source Basic layout simply because it is so much faster than Fusion.

In that conversion process we chose to use the fusion layout as our our interface of chose for the look and features that it offered. However, the backlash from users and the speed in which the application loads has forced us to revisit that solution. I've got a wide range of users (both internal to the organization and general public), those users pc configurations and networks are showing very large performance gaps. An XP machine running IE 7 takes 3min to 4mins to intially load the map, whereas a vista development machine might take around 25secs. (these pcs are on the same network connection) These load times are driving users away from the application. We have 43 groups and 137 layers in our map, with themes, joins, and db connections that are unavoidable in some instances. Just as a test we created a basic layout with the same map, no changes at all. That map loaded in less than 2 secs on newer pc's and less than 5 secs on the old XP, IE7 browser pc. Given this massive discrepancy in performance we are now re-evaluating our layouts to move away from fusion. Even though some of the features are better and the layouts nicer, in the end performance is king. I've posted on this issue in the past and followed the recommendations that were made for increasing the performance of fusion, but even stripping down the map to only 4 groups and 10 layers the fastest I could get that map to load on older pc's was 30secs and that's with a map that has pretty much nothing in it. My question is, is the basic viewer the mainstream layout being used and the fusion layout a work in progress? I'm finding it difficult to locate other organizations that are actually using MGE to compare. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/fusion-viewer-performance-vs-basic-viewer-tp6824506p6824506.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
