Template talk:W-color

performance hit with many template instances?
I have just tried to include this and all similar templates into Skills by capture location (Nightfall), and I have found myself unable to. There are exactly 460 occurences of the profession colors; I have replaced all of them with their respective color templates.

I have separated the code of that page with a shifting opening nowiki-tag (plus table closing) and a closing tag at the end of the page to make sure that the inclusion of the templates are causing the performance hit. Measurements showed:

at 200 inclusions of the various x-color templates, the waiting time until the preview page was served was 11 seconds.

at 300, it was 20-23 seconds.

at 350, it was 33 seconds

at 400 and above, the preview didn't show at all, giving only a blank page.

These values have been measured repeatedly and were consistent to 1 or 2 seconds at most. Can anyone confirm these results (at least proportionally) or is the problem on my side? --RolandOfGilead 17:54, 29 January 2007 (CST)
