Performance issues while editing large posts
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Copy post content from this post
- Create new post with copied content
- Try to edit it from iOS client
Tested on iPhone SE, iOS 11.1, WPiOS 8.9.0.20171122
GIF of the lag is here: http://take.ms/dRiZm
I'm editing the title to make this issue more generic, since there are internal reports of this being an issue with larger posts in English too.
Adding some links to sample data which can be used for testing large posts:
- Gutenberg Demo Post
-
Lipsum generator (enter
10000, select "words", click Generate Lorem Ipsum) - https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11782#issuecomment-438213916

@designsimply - Considering we're phasing Aztec out in favor of Gutenberg, is this still valid in Gutenberg?
Ping @koke since this should be within the scope of the editor team, probably.

I can't access the original post or GIF, is this about loading time or performance while editing? I think we can focus on performance in Gutenberg since Aztec will get progressively less usage

If the estimate for a final phase-out of Aztec is long-term and if the lag is unreasonably long then I think the issue is still valid but with low priority. I agree with focusing on performance in Gutenberg and maintaining usability in Aztec.
@koke here is an better post link: http://testbrbrratsite.blog/?p=142
Next steps for this issue should be to re-test with the sample post given and determine lag time and then make a decision of closing as wontfix if large posts in Aztec are usable with lag or leaving open with low priority if large posts are unusable.
I tried that post on the latest internal with an iPhone Xs. Both Aztec and Gutenberg take 4-5 seconds to be ready although Gutenberg appears earlier. Once the editor loads, editing and scrolling seems to work fine.

I think it’s worth profiling in case there are any quick wins, but it’s definitely better than I was expecting 😁
