XPages are slow

In my previous post about XPages I complained (among other things!) about XPages build time:

At that point I thought that XPage is built when it’s saved. But no, according to my testing it is built when accessed the first time. That would be somehow acceptable but after an embarrasing demo I realized that XPages go to sleep at night and take 15-50 sec to wake up when accessed after that. In my next embarrasing demo I noticed that they actually go to sleep also at day time, maybe after about 1 hour inactivity, and then you wait again 15-50sec for the page to load. And yes, my persistence setting is “Keep pages in memory”.

Based on these findings I find XPages totally unusable currently.

Subject: Same in 8.5.2

I read that there should be XPage performance improvements in 8.5.2. I did some testing and noticed that the problem has not been fixed: XPages still go to sleep after not being used for 30-60 minutes. After that you wait for them to load for a long time.

The longer the inactivity period the longer the load time. After 60 minutes I typically get 5-8 sec load time for an empty XPage. After 12 hours it takes 25-30 sec. I don’t know about you but my users will not tolerate this kind of response times.

Subject: Experiencing same problem with iSerie

No solution found. Other developpement without xPages work fine.
