Aquileo | Release 2 (Preview) - IE Performance Booster

Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:09:57 -0000

We've patched Preview Release 2 with an Internet Explorer performance booster. By repackaging the Dojo toolkit, one of the open source components in Coupa eProcurement, we've dramatically reduced the number of unique files required per page. Because IE always checks to make sure it has the latest copy of each file, this simple change results in an up-to 5x performance improvement on IE7 and some versions of IE6. Firefox and other browsers are faster too, but less dramatically.
