Testing scalability

My current tiddlywiki is very small — about 200 tiddlers and a size of the entire node.js created folder about 3.4MB. It feels very responsive as I add tiddlers or click from one to the other, etc.

But I would like to test a large sized (may be, 10MB or even 20MB) tiddlywiki on my comupter — ideally a node.js installation. Is such a wiki publicly available?

There are discussions about this in the TiddlyWiki Google Group and you will find good answers!

The short answer is people reported TW as large as 60-70MB and works very responsive! But I can give you a small TW of 5MB to be very slow! The reason is rendering and displaying on the screen seems to be a slow process! So, see the old discussions and learn how to keep your TW responsive!

I have a wiki I use almost daily on Nodejs that is a bit larger than 14mb and over 12,000 files. I have no problems with responsiveness, it includes a lot of media and plug-ins and it seems fine.

Hi deshmukh

In terms of filesize this is not large, 6mb, but it has 17,132 tiddlers and lots of tags.

Feel free to download and test it out to see what using lots of tags feels like with that many tiddlers.

@DaveGifford Thank you for sharing that wiki.

I tried it on my computer and it worked without any problem. Even on my fairly basic mobile phone, it worked without any problem.

@fennerlaw Thanks. My wiki is unlikely to reach that size. And I hardly use media. It is mostly text and links in my case. So, I guess, I need not worry.
