JInitiator Startup Performance
434021Dec 3 2004 — edited Jun 7 2005We're having major problems with performance on the rollout of web-deployed
application, thought to be due to performance problems with the loading of
JInitiator (using version 1.3.1.18).
It's happening on both our windows 2000 and xp machines. After a cold restart
on a PC it could take up to 50 seconds to load webforms, when connected to a
100Mb/s network.
The second time web SSIS is loaded the system takes 9 seconds to load.
This problem is consistent every time webforms is started after a cold restart
and I'm aware other teams using different versions of JInitiator are having the
same problem.
Although the performance problem is bearable at our central site we have many
users who dial in to the application server, and many more users connecting via
slow ISDN links and in some cases it takes them over 6 minutes to load web
forms application, which is really unacceptable for our users. The second time
it is loaded it takes 20 seconds.
Any ideas on the cause and how it can be fixed would really be appreciated.
We've checked the logs on both the java console on loading JInitiator, and on
the web server and the jar files are being used from the cache, so this isn't
the problem.
