Oh dear. The original code took 20 seconds to import three years worth.

Not sure how many rows it has created -- Using the Editor window is very slow. Paging up and down takes maybe 4 seconds to move each page.


Yes, this has been the thing that has taken up most of time in the last week or so, trying to get that to work better. Telerik say they are going to improve the grid performance in their next release, but I think I will also have to think of a way to improve too; maybe by subsetting the data that is displayed.

Quote:
I notice that records at the top are missing a lot of data (highest Temp outside, Lowest outside, etc.) but are in the data at the end. Maybe this info was not logged in last years release?


Yes, many of the fields weren't stored back then, and even the latest version of Cumulus 1 doesn't store anywhere near the set that Cumulus 2 does.

Quote:
Paging up and down in the editor seems to consume huge amounts of memory. Cumulus currently running at 314Mb and it increases as you move up and down the editor.


Yes... I was hoping this was just the way the garbage collection works, as I have 8 GB of RAM. I'd hoped it would use less if less was available. How much RAM do you have? I think I'll have to get back to Telerik about this.

Nice job so far :D


Thanks :)

So I suppose it could just be grabbing it because it's there. I guess it's not really a problem until it starts affecting the rest of your system...

Cumulus2 install hung up initially because it needed the online download component to get the windows installer & SQL. Not a problem though, I just installed the web component manually and stopped and restarted the install and all was well.
Import data was 3.5 minutes for just over a years worth.
I'll be running C2 intermittently as I need to update websites from C1
Certainly looks good so far.

Ah, that's interesting. The installer is supposed to be able to download everything. I'm not even sure what the web compnenent is that you're referring to :) - I probably just need to make it a dependency once I work out what it is.

Not too bad, considering you only need to do it once. Well, once with the first 'proper' release anyway.

Thanks - I don't really expect anyone to run this version much, certainly not until I get the teething troubles sorted out.

The Component seems to be "Web Platform Installer 2.0 RC" as that has now appeared on my menus.

not tried it yet after removing cumulus 2 and then deleting the files before reinstaling

Ah right. I knew that was needed for a standalone SQL Server, but I didn't think it was needed the way the Cumulus installer does it. I tried it on a fresh XP install, and it all went through smoothly and I don't remember it downloading the web platform installer. But now I've looked at add/remove programs on that system, the web platform installer is indeed there, so I clearly wasn't paying enough attention :)
