[Gnumed-devel] publicdb.gnumed.de performance

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi all,

I am looking for some real world figures regarding our public server , its 
performance and the usability of the publicdb

When I fire up GNUmed and connect to the public database it takes 26 seconds 
from having typed kirk in the patient search field and hitting enter (to 
initiate the search) to the user interface becoming responsive again and the 
clock at the lower right ticking again.

It takes another 4or 5 seconds until the patient name is listed in the the 
patient search box and the user interface has switched to the first plugin.

I wonder if this is as fast as it gets or if there is room for improvement.

The server hosting the public db is physcially located 5km from my home but my 
traffic is routed through Frankfurt

I am on a 4,8MBits download/0,3MBits upload connection
