Notes from the meeting with Katie

• We now have timings from the hardhat run on 3 machines (Aparna's Powerbook, Anthony's iBook and the QA machine kilauea).
• There's no doubt that kilauea is slower and we need to look for a way to fix the problem. Katie suggested a few things:
  • Run a disk scan on kilauea and see if the disk is fragmented. Unfragment the disk if necessary.
  • Currently kilauea has only 512 MB RAM(compared to 768 on my and Anthony's machines)
  • Run the unit tests on all the 3 platforms once more to see if the numbers are consistent.
• Anthony has composed the 1000 event calendar and is ready for import. Anthony will import the calendar into Chandler and determine the time it takes to import.
• Go over the use cases with Sheila on Monday.
• Research other apps and find the target times (importing 1000/4000 item calendar into Chandler and iCal and determine how long does each take)
• Later on we will also need to determine how to get performance metrics for email - Check with Grant on how they did it at Apple.
• Katie is working on loading calendar data in an excel spreadsheet that can be exported as a .csv file and then using a python script we can upload that into Chandler. Olivier may be a good resource for writing this python script.
