I am working on a project where I am following the progress of items through a process. I have created a TabContainer with several tabs, each tab being a ContentPane. Everything works but it is far too slow to render on some of the low-end computers in the office. The page loads quickly enough and the raw content is visible but the browser then sits for 2-6 seconds, depending on the horsepower of the client machine, before the TabContainer shows up. Meanwhile, CPU usage jumps and consumes at least 100% of one of my cores.

hi everybody!

When I add a large number of dijit TextBox widgets to my page (say around 75). the focusing of the TextBox widgets via mouse click becomes really slow in IE6 and IE7 (around 500ms). Tabbing the focus works a little faster but the lag is still noticable. In addition, these TextBox widgets are causing the menu on my page to lag.

On Firefox 2, everything works just fine.

I'm using a nightly build from about a week ago.

anyone out there seeing something similar? any suggestions?

thanks

really want to use dojo and dijit, but it takes minutes to load, even for a simple test page, and even in 3 different browsers, and even for the standard demo pages. firefox even freezes for a minute of two.

for example, see:

any clues on how to avoid this would be highly appreciated, as i really can't use it this way...
