Application is slow in IE 8 after using allowflash=true in fileupload

[fjkjava]

Hi All

Almost all the modules in our application using file upload functionality. Onemonth back we had a request from our user to allow them to select multiple filewhen they upload files. So we added allowflash=true to all our file uploadcontrol. Initially we were using Richfaces 3.3.2 and we had some issues withIE8 so we upgraded it to 3.3.3. Then it was working fine so we moved it toproduction. But now users started complaining that the application is veryslow. We have been using this application for more than two years and have notget any complaints about the performance. So I think the last release causedthe issue(major thing was fileupload and Richfaces version).

Anybody faced any kind of issue similar to this.

Please advice.

Thanks

I do not thinks so. only minor bugfixing were made there. Do you able to see the slowdowns on your own? Do you able to see the same at rf-demo?

If only some users reports that - could be issue with old flash players.

Ilya,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I am also able to see the slowdown, especially when I type something in the textarea it takes 2-3 seconds to display the letters. I can see clear gap betweentyping and displaying. The application allows user to download some pdfdocuments, the downloading is also considerably slow.

Our users complain that it really affects their productivity now.

If only some users reports that - could be issue with old flash players.

I just checked my flash player version, "You haveversion 10,2,153,1 installed" and I found it is the latest. As I mentionedearlier it is working fine in firefox. We can not use firefox in our companybecause our major application developed 6 years back will work only in IE (Onlyusing JSP).

Thanks

Nothing works ..

do you have some debug components like ui:debug on the page? If so remove them please.

Also maybe you have some plugins in browser which could affect flash performance? (if things are ok without it)

do you able to create sample in order to check on our side? We really has no such problems on our side and if you will look to the forum you will see that there were no such reports (about client-side major slowdowns after just FU added.)

P.S. I do not wanted to say the I do not believe you could have slowdowns.. I just really missed the point that it started after just FU flash addition and not  between 3.3.2 and 3.3.3.
