Slow repeating group

[Pat]

:filter downloads all datasets to the client and hence is definitely slower

Filtering versus Search for

It is always better to have as many constraints as possible in the search, the filter is more of a 2nd solution if there is a constraint you cannot express within our current search engine.

Repeating group loading - slow

Filter in general is client side, it’s better to have every constraint in the search if possible.

How to improve the speed to read from DB

Speed is something we work on constantly, but not a quick project. While things will get better over time, if you identify a pattern on a specific page / repeating group, email us and we can see if there is a quick win there. Saying ‘speed is generally quite slow’ isn’t specific enough for us to look into it. One thing to note is that you should avoid using ‘Filtered’ except if you absolutely have to, as it’s slower than using search constraints.
