I have a fairly poor internet connection at my office, but today the
dashboard loaded in 4s. I've noticed very significant differences in
loading the dashboard in different browsers. IE seems to be
incredibly slow. My 4s test was on the latest version of Chrome.
We are still set up under the JIRA Studio system. I have no idea if
migrating to OnDemand would speed it up, but it might be worth a shot.
I've contacted the sales team about migrating. I also mentioned the
performance issue, but I'm not expecting a great deal out of them
related to that. I propose that we upgrade to OnDemand and then see
how things go.
