Poor hardware, there is no problem related to ZK, if you are ok to run eclipse + tomcat (or other AS) + JSP

Enjoy,

Hi,
In my experience Zk has the following bottlenecks:
- Network bandwidth: If you use tomcat, insert some kind of cache filter. Normally tomcat doesn't cache anything and Zk use images for borders and style.
- Network requests: ZK make a lot of request [ depending on you application ] for handling server side events.
- Javascript: IE is slow in handling javascript. Use firefox or super fast google chrome as client.

I've never experienced server side heavy load problems.

Enjoy.

Hi folks,

Network Bandwidth: For richer user experience and ease of UI customization, ZK framework uses images to layout the UI widget.
Moreover, ZK reduces the number of request for images by introducing single-image polity to represent rich widget.

Network request: It's the nature of Ajax application, if you want responsive and speedy web application, it is in-inevitable to communicate with the server directly to say goodbye to page-based navigation. And ZK framework optimized the number of request by batching mechanism.

JavaScript: It's true that the performance of IE is slower than FF because their ability of processing JavaScript code. It's browser's issue instead of framework. However, ZK framework enables load-on-demand, and live data mechanism to optimize the performance of Web application rendering, and this benefit can be applied on different browsers.

Please feel free to share your idea.
