[Webunitproj-users] major performance issue with large select list

[Brian K. <bt...@ne...>]

In our application we have select boxes (drop-downs) with over 8000
options.  The IE browser comes up instantaneously, but webunit is
tremendously slow. =20

At first we didn't know what the performance issue was, but suspected it
was due to the 8000+ options.  So we ended up creating a simple html
page with a single select box containing 8500 options.  With this we
tested webunit and found the following time statistics:

1) Retrieving the WebResponse with WebClient.getCurrentState()  took 9
seconds

2) Getting a handle to the WebSelectField with
WebResponse.getRootTag.findFirst() took 18 seconds

3) Setting the value of the select box with
WebSelectField.setSelectOption() took 3 seconds

As you can see it's taking about 30 seconds to set a single select box.
Any ideas why this might be taking so long?  This is becoming a
showstopper for us -- any ideas on when a fix could be produced?  Please
advise.
