Recently we got some pretty large schools/colleges using Prime Timetable with number of subjects/teachers as high as 500 (!) and even more. That makes up to 20000+ timetable cards to display in the school timetable, so we have decided to devote some time to timetable view performances. Here are some results that are especially visible in bigger timetables:

  • Displaying timetable view is now 10-20x faster than it was before.
  • No need to wait for timetable to finish drawing. You can use application while timetable is being drawn.
  • Timetable is continually displayed so you get immediate response.
  • Prime Timetable will automatically adjust according to your computer’s performances, e.g. faster computers will display the animation of cards moving, fading, etc., while slower computers won’t have such smooth experience.
  • Using zoom in and zoom out is instant, without timetable view refreshing.

Overall, we are pleased with the new timetable view performances and hope you will like them too. Just don’t tell us that your school has 10000 teachers :) .
