Microsoft looking for our input
Several months ago I started a thread on GotSpeech called Long Compile Times. In that thread I described some problems I was having with long load times when trying to load a Speech project into Visual Studio. I was experiencing compile times of around 10 minutes and long load times when running the application on a production server. I also had some rather long times loading pages as the caller moved through the application.
I contacted Microsoft on this, a ticket was opened and I've stayed in touch with them concerning this. It seems the problem revolves around using subflows (or what ever you want to call them) and with nesting of subflows. I'm not going to delve anymore into the problem here as you can just read the thread (and others on GotSpeech) to see what others are experiencing.
Now Microsoft is soliciting some more information on this topic and Anthony has posted to the thread describing what is happening and asking us to fill in some of the details. So if you have encountered this issue then head on over here and make yourself heard on this. Lets make this an active thread.
Microsoft is also working on a whitepaper dealing with this. No firm date on when it will be published but I'm guessing it will depend somewhat on how soon Anthony gets the answers to his questions.
Here's your chance to make a difference so go for it.
