WSS - slow to display/edit list item

M

Mitzi

I hope this is the right forum, I couln't find one explicity for Windows
Sharepoint Services...

I have multiple WSS sites running on a single server. All sites have similar
- if not identical - lists. One particular site is very slow when you click
a list item to view it, or to edit it. E.g. When you display a list of
issues, then click one particular issue to display the details it can take
20-30 seconds to fully display. The data is displayed almost immediately,
however the progress bar at the bottom of the screen takes 20-30 seconds
before it completes and then displays the 'back to list' option.

It seems to be site specific; other sites on the same server do not have
this issue.

What processing is Sharepoint doing when it displays a list item on screen?

There are three fields which display user information, so I wondered if the
larger number of users on the slow site would make the difference. Having
reviewed the user list, there are now less users on this site than on another
comparable site and it has improved performance slightly, but nowhere near
enough.

None of the sites are yet approaching 2000 list items per list even
including all the previous versions, although several sites are reaching the
1000-1500 mark.

Does the number of current records and number of total records have an
impact? I.e. if one site's list is more heavily maintained than the other
then there will be lot of previous version records. Perhaps this would slow
it down?

Any help on how the display item works, or things to check for would be
appreciated!

Mitzi.

Hi Mitzi,

You may want to use the Sharepoint newsgroup link below as well and include the Windows server software and the server configuration
you are using.

Thanks Bob.

I couldn't find any relevant information on the newsgroup already, so have
posted this question there.
