Analytics Software

Hi everyone, I would like to take some suggestions regarding the performance of Dashboard Pages.

This is our first OBI project and were running into several performance issues. So far everyone in the team focused mostly on the functionality of the dashboard pages and we were happy to see it work as expected.

But the biggest problem right now is the performance.
When we log into the OBI, it takes at least 10 minutes to log in. We see this message... "Logging in please wait"

Once we log in and click on the Dashboard, it takes another 5 to 10 minutes to show the first page.
The pages we have in Dashboard have more than 60 answers requests (Guided Navigation) and about half a dozen Prompts (Constrained). Call it as a poor architecture or design plan, but this is what we wanted from a functionality and business stand point.

Are there any specific areas on the Physical Server that we can focus to upgrate stuff like RAM, CPU usage, etc........ to improve the overall performance of the Dashboard?
Everytime we report the poor performance to our Windows Team, we get the same answer that the CPU usage from their eyes is very normal by the OBI stuff. They inturn asking us what are the log files or areas they need to check to grant more CPU usage for OBI.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sai
