Hi
Since upgrading to dnn 5.1.4 I've noticed that every time I go to the page settings screen for any new page I'm creating, I get a pop up IE error stating that a script on the page is causing IE to run slowly, would I like to end the script. Clicking yes usually takes care of it but it takes another minute or so to un-freeze IE. I am running IE 7. Any ideas how to avoid this?
Thanks
Mike

Well, despite not getting any responses on this one I thought others might benifit from the resolution should they run into the same issue. Our site uses EasyAD to import all our active directory roles and there are a couple hundred of them displayed by default on every settings page. Not only did these cause the page to lag on opening, but they were also the cause of the script error. Simply changing the security group displayed to another with only native dnn roles (and fewer of them) allowed changes to be made to the settings without generating the error. Hope it helps somone.

OK I think I figured out what you meant Mike.  I simply created a new Role Group called "Active Directory Roles" and used SQL to move all of my Active Directory groups into that Role Group.  As a result I am NOT receiving the time out error any more.  I can only hope that this Role Group change won't confuse EasyAD.  Time will tell.

However there still is a noticeable lag when I change the Parent Page.  This is happening because DNN goes out and retrieves a list of all the sibling pages for the "Insert After, Before" feature. Because I have a lot of pages this happens slowly.  

Here is will I'll make a polite complaint to the DNN Core Team - DotNetNuke needs to be optimized in consideration for larger sites.  Given the evolution focus and I am guessing testing has focused on smaller sites.  As a result us developers with larger sites are noticing issues with timeouts and slow responses on certain features.  Further some of the tools are simply unwieldy.  For example Admin Pages and finding pages from the Editor.
