I think about performance right from the design dashboards for i think, be it a simple webapp or a financial application, the choice of your design patterns and techstack goes a long way in a good customer experience. Bulk of my thoughts are reflected in here : http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/06/performance-is-a-feature.html I generally lay emphasis on 2 things when it comes to webapps : 1) Layout and 2)Speed. I am ready to sacrifice certain features; if i think a certain feature will cause some issues with customer experience(after all we are developing apps for the customer and if he is made to wait for 5s for an events, then its bad), i would rather not present it or present in some 'other' fashion(like a batched job?). _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
