th1aOh, ok, yes.16:05
menesisthey run an older version, 2.3.1, probably on quantal. so either I need to make bugfix & translation release soon, or they have to install the translation manually16:07

th1aOK.16:17
replaceafillyvl, i have a question16:17
replaceafillon performance16:17
replaceafillsuppose i'm iterating students and counting16:17
replaceafillthins on them16:17
replaceafilli read somewhere than creating a list16:18
replaceafilland then using sum(...) was faster16:18
replaceafillthan setting a variable and do +=16:18
replaceafillany thoughts on that?16:18
replaceafill(that's the approach i used on virginia this time)16:18
replaceafilli checked performance (by just reloading pages...) and it was similar :)16:19
replaceafillam i disconnected again......16:20
replaceafillping16:20
yvlumm16:21
yvlI don't think you'll win any perfomance there16:21
replaceafillah :)16:21
yvl(sorry /me was AFK for a moment)16:21
replaceafillnp16:21
replaceafill(i'm just network paranoid this week)16:22
yvlif you did not iterate students at all, that could be a win :)16:22
replaceafill(that network at the hyatt sucks!)16:22
replaceafillyvl, what do you mean?16:22
replaceafill"not iterate students"?16:22
yvlcatalog or something ;)16:23
replaceafillah16:23
replaceafillwe'd need to index grades...16:23
replaceafillwell16:23
replaceafilli'll live with it16:24
th1aIt might be necessary.16:24

replaceafillright16:24
yvlin any case16:24
yvlprofile first :)16:24
