What determines display speeds?

[atheimer98]

We just rolled out Sugar 4.0.1c to several users outside the office which contains the sugar server. When they access data
the server response times are great .6xx etc... but the actual page loads take forever. Yes, this is a large database 15k contacts, accounts etc... Both of these users have high speed cable connections 5mb down at least, any suggestions on speeding them up?

Thanks in advance!

The latest version of 4.0.1 (4.0.1e) has some important speed and stability improvements.

Firefox is generally faster than IE.

I also recommend the following two settings in php.ini

• output_buffering = On ; Build entire response before sending to client
• zlib.output_compression = On ; Turn on compression of page responses

This will decrease the size of the page that is sent to the client.

You had the issue fixed 4 minutes after my post. That is impressive.

Looking for a job?

I am very glad that it helped.

Wow! I just did this on our 4.2.0 install and it makes a huge difference in the load times.
I'll ask the users in our remote office if they notice a difference also.

Our server is inhouse running off of a 384K fractional T1 line and I thought that was mostly the bottleneck, but apparently not.

Thanks!

I've also noticed an increase by moving up the php memory limit in php.ini my machine has 4gb of memory and
I've got phps limit at 256mb. Anyone set higher? Is there any danger?
