Hi,

I have developed a webpart which generate the subsites data in a tabular
form. I just want to know that how many subsites can sharepoint easily hold.
As I have done some testing and around 1000 subsites sharepoint seems very
very slow and could not able to perform any action because of time out.

I am running sharepoint portal server 2003 with Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine.

Thanks alot in advance.

I would have to see how you did the webpart to tell you why its so slow. I
wrote a part to gather all the wss sites under portal that isn't super fast,
but isn't super slow, perhaps we can work together to bring your part up to
speed.

Dear Adam,

Webpart is working fine. it works for 1560 sites properly. I mean rendering
the information in tabular form. But problem is with Sharepoint server now.
It is really really slow after these much sites. Any action is not completed
within timeout. My webpart can also filter and sort the information.. which
cannot be complete because of server response time is long now. Thats why I
asked this question that how many subsites can sharepoint easily hold. Also,
is Desktop database engine cause of this problem?? I mean if I change to
standard version of SQL Server 2005 will it work faster??

Thanks

Well, I ran into something similiar with large datasets, but I got to return
much faster using some AJAX. As far as I know, the limits for web sites is
250,000 (since you can nest within a site collection, so you shouldn't have
an issue.

Hi Adam,

Can you please provide me an example of how u have implemented the AJAX to
solve your problem. It would be great help for me and also for all who are
facing the same or similar problem.

Thanks
