Platform Update – Improved friends loading
Thursday, March 25th, 2010In this weeks update we improved the friends section of the SocialSpace. Our goal was to reduce the load time and to support Facebook users with very high friend counts (one of our users has 1,500 friends).
To achieve that we had to reengineer both the retrieval code and to implement local caching. In the end we got, on average, a 5 times performance gain in typical usage scenarios, and even up to 10 times as much for users with more than 500 friends.
Adding caching had an additional benefit. For a period of 24 hours your friends are cached locally so opening the friends section should be almost instantaneous after the first time.
We are planning to include local caching in all the other parts of the SocialSpace during the next couple of weeks, especially the streams view, which is the most time consuming operation so far.
We hope you enjoy it.
