[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Slow load time for records with lots of instances

[Jordon Steele]

Christine,

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. We’ve got a test of 2.x on a server at the moment, so we’ll see how it performs. Understood about the tradeoffs.

Best,

Jordon

Dear Jordon,

There were changes made in version 2.0.0 to better accommodate resource hierarchies with many components at the same level as well as records with many linked records at the same level. I’d recommend doing a test upgrade to a more recent ArchivesSpace version to see if that improves performance with this type of record. There are still ways that performance could be improved in the application, but given that you’re running a version that is quite a few back at this point, that’s where I’d recommend starting.

I think 1300 instances attached to a single accession record (or 1300 top containers attached to a single instance) is likely to be an edge case, no matter what, however. Please feel free to file a JIRA issue about it, though I will admit that accommodating quick loading of such a record may require major refactoring of the ArchivesSpace application and we’d have to weigh the pros and cons and determine the extent to which such a scenario is needed in the community. I’d certainly be interested to hear how common something like this is.

Oh sorry, meant to mention this: 1.5.4.

Hi,

We have an accession record that has over 1300 containers assigned to it in the instance module. The record takes almost 3 minutes to load in the staff interface, the same amount of time if you enter data and save. Sometimes, heavy interaction with this record causes ASpace to crash. We’ve doubled our memory to mitigate this, but there appears to be a correlation between the amount of instances we have and the slow load time.

I’m wondering if anyone else in the community has experienced this and/or if ASpace is aware of this.

Thanks!

Best,

Jordon
