Hi JTrow,

Do you mean that the Editors are having problems when adding a Composer Function to a page from either the Composer Clipboard or Global Blocks? If so, is it fair to say that it has got slower as the number of pages in the site has grown?

I'm not an expert on the innerworkings of composer, but we had a similar problem previously. When we profiled the site we could see that there was a specific Stored Procedure that was taking ages to load, i think it is called composerCompleteImport, and from memory (my memory) it is called everytime you add/save a composer block. There is some code within this stored procedure that iterates through every single page in the site, so as the number of pages increases this stored procedure takes longer and longer to execute.

If this sounds like the same problem, what you are looking for is an updated SP, and two updated Composer assemblies - both moving from version 4.1.0.142 to 4.1.0.152. I would suggest you contact EPiServer support requesting this hotfix, but as it's not been officially released they may not be able to provide them. In that case, let me know and I'll dig them out.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Al

That sounds like the exact issue - we have a huge number of pages and it has got progressively slower.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll give support a nudge,

thanks,

JT
