Holy tamole\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have been wrestling with a client project using \u2018plupload\u2019 with a user base consistently uploading files from 150-500meg on a daily basis. They\u2019d been uploading to youtube\/vimeo mostly, because the experience with the older uploader (still plupload earlier version) was bad \u2013 slow, mostly, but some issues about determining whether items were uploaded\/processed correctly (files sent to third party for processing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joined a project and the other dev had been working on a revamp, and had put some new things in place to help with logging\/notifications\/etc, but as we rolled it out to the main production site today, word had come back that \u201cthis is still really slow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve only got 5mpbs up at the office, so it was hard for me to judge\/test. Working with the PM, who had much faster upload, we tested a 344meg file. We got about 9:40 upload time. Ugh\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spent a lot of time looking at lots of potential issues \u2013 any network throttling? Any firewall stuff? Error logs? Apache settings? Dug deeper and noticed that \u2018chunk_size\u2019 in plupload was set to 1m. Hrmm\u2026. let\u2019s change that to 5m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tested upload again, and got 5:12. Changed to 8m, got 4:40. Changed to 10m, got 4:39. Uploaded same file on vimeo.com and got 4:32, so we\u2019re definitely in the ballpark on what the end users are accustomed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
