SharePoint 2010 On Full Throttle!

www.wssdemo.com is a popular SharePoint 2010 community site. It is hosted in New Zealand, and the distance impacts load times from around the world.

WSSDemo installed WAX yesterday, and the results are very impressive.  This is our first deployment to a SharePoint 2010 website, so we’re very happy with the acceleration.

Improvements From the East Coast USA:

• First view load time reduced 37% from 21.8 seconds to 13.8 seconds
• Repeat view load time reduced 54% from 9.0 seconds to 4.1 seconds

SharePoint 2010 has some performance improvements over SharePoint 2007, and we’ve enhanced WAX to take advantage of these, and the acceleration results are great!

Here are the raw page test results:
