Slow down after update to 2.1.5.5

  • My quiz has 200 questions.

    The tests were performed on the same site, first with the old plugin, then with the updated one using two different memory limit settings*.

    Note: actually, increasing memory limit doesn’t increase the speed of calculations but rather increase the chances for they to be finished at all.

    Here are the screenshots.

    a) 2.0.4, memory limit = 128M (standard)

    Note: sometimes it breaks but not too often

    b) 2.0.4, memory limit = 512M (increased)

    c) 2.1.5.5, memory limit = 128M (standard)
    https://www.screencast.com/t/sHjm1pL8MfQ

    Note: it stopped working at all

    d) 2.1.5.5, memory limit = 512M (increased)

    Conclusion.

    As expected the new plugin just made the things worse. It seems, you constantly add things which unreasonably spend computer resources.

    Yes, I tried the new theme. It didn’t solve problems. It just changed design.

    To tell you the truth, I don’t understand how the theme can change plugin issues.

    So, I had to downgrade the theme (to 2.6.2) and the plugin (to 2.0.4) in order it to work as before.

    But EVEN THIS performance (as shown in A and B) is considered terrible by my customer.

    This is what he wrote:

    “The students are annoyed now.

    Plugin makes them spend 3-4 hrs for a 2 hrs quiz.

    Yesterday 48 students said they won’t wait this long for one mock test
    all of them said NO.”

    Hi,

    Could you please discuss with us at forum https://thimpress.com/forums/forum/plugins/learnpress-plugin/, we’ll check and reply faster? If possible, we need url site to check.

    Regards,

    Hien Phan.
