[Treebase-devel] NEXML export really, really slow

[Roderic P. <r....@bi...>]

I've been downloading NEXML files from TreeBASE with a view to making  
a local copy in CouchDB. TreeBASE NEXML is pretty unpleasant to deal  
with, but it does give me a complete summary of a study.

However, generating the NEXML file can take what seems like an age,  
particularly for large data sets. I've written a script to harvest  
NEXML for each study, but this regularly times out. Is there anyway  
this could be speed up, perhaps by having TreeBASE cache NEXML files  
so users are grabbing a text document, not forcing live queries to the  
database?

Regards

Rod
