KendoUI DropdownList too slow

[Saqib]

Hi,
    I'm developing a Rails Application and using KendoUI DropDownList for my dropdowns but it takes many too much time to load the page as KendoUI Dropdown list uses calls to load

GET http://localhost:3000/assets/kendo.core.js?body=1&_=1330671955925

GET http://localhost:3000/assets/kendo.list.js?body=1&_=1330671957009

GET http://localhost:3000/assets/kendo.popup.js?body=1&_=1330671957783

GET http://localhost:3000/assets/kendo.data.js?body=1&_=1330671957981

GET http://localhost:3000/assets/kendo.dropdownlist.js?body=1&_=1330671958212

Please guide me if i'm doing it wrong or any other suggestions in this regard.
Thanks

Hi Saqib,

Glad to hear you're giving the Gem a spin. I *think* I know what's causing that issue and will take a look this morning. If its a quick fix, you can expect to see an 0.0.6 version of the Gem today. I'll reply here once things are resolved.

I just pushed v0.0.6 up to rubygems.org, so you should be able run

gem update kendoui-rails

to get it.

After you've done so, try this again and let me know what happens. I wasn't able to replicate the problem you described in my tests, but I did make a change we had already slated for today that I believe will fix this problem for you. Let me know what happens.

Thanks, hope you are doing good. I guess i was unable to clarify my problem. What i want to ask is that what are the libraries that i need to include if i want to use a KendoUIDropDownList in my page.
Currently I am including the libraries that i  mentioned in my question. They are too many and make the page load slow. Could you please guide me in this regard.

[Brandon]

Saqib,

Those look like the correct includes. Are you including any others?

How long is the page taking to load? please be specific, if you can. Are you seeing the same performance if you use non-asset pipeline references (a la from the public/javascripts folder)?

[Saqib]

yep tried doing it both ways but result was same. As far as time that it takes to load is concern, i tried it on two different servers and on one that was a bit slow it took me near about 12-14 seconds while on the other one it took me 6-7 seconds. That is quite a lot time which seems frustrating some times. I was wondering if i had to include some other jquery plugins then it might take ages to load a page.. :(

[Brandon]

Yikes, that is slow. Do you have a Fiddle or other public sample you can provide for me to take a look at? That's not been consisent with our perf testing, so it would be good to see exactly what you are seeing.

[Saqib]

i wish i had..:(
would screenshots help in this case?

[Brandon]

unfortunately not. I'll need to see some kind of interactive sample in order to help out.

Even if the site itself isn't public, if you can reproduce something similar in a Fiddle, that would be sufficient.

[Saqib]

tackled it..:) thanks a lot for your response...

[Brandon]

Glad to hear it!
