Drag and drop, very slow
Drag and drop, very slow
Hi all,
I am creating a drag and drop day-planner style app. I have it all
working quite well (so far) but it is very slow.
Please see the link:

There are a lot of draggable items, and even more droppable areas on
the page. If I reduce these down to very few, the page runs nice and
quick, but with all the elements I need on the page (there will
probably need to be even more in the future) it is very very slow.
Using firebug profile, I am making in excess of 35000 calls to drag a
single item, whereas with only one draggable and one droppable element
on teh page, that is way down to around 3000. I don't know what
numbers I should expect to be seeing, but I do know the app is too
slow to use in it's current state.
Any suggestions please?
Many thanks, Mark
