Re: Web server performance

A completely different approach, not yet tested, it came just to my mind:

I think you've one line of HTML-code with the CGI-request.

You told us that you create a "top bar, left and right bar, bottom bar,
etc".

What about sending out just a frame set with a CGI-request in each frame
page? I suggest this to do more than one request at the same time, some sort
of parallel processing.

So instead of

< request "cgi1" from as400
*looooong 5 seconds work*
> answer one big page

<request "cgi1" from as400
*something shorter*
> answer is a frameset, user is happy as the machine seems something to do
< request "cgi_top" from as400
< request "cgi_left" from as400

and so on

Got the idea?

This might make your web more re-usable, tasks are easier solved with an
ILE-approach and might better perform (and is trickier an more fun to do :-)

Anybody tried this already? Does it work?
