Improving performance of your Rhodes application #Rhomobile

I am listing out the way to improve the performance of Rhodes application:

• Set MinSeverity=3 in rhoconfig.txt for production. Otherwise it will log all your activities and will affect your performance.
• Set bb_loadimages_async=1 in rhoconfig.txt. In this mode next page opens, while the images are being loaded in the background 
• Minimize the possible external files like CSS and Javascript. If possible include these file in layout.erb. 
• Use Fixed schema instead of Property Bag if you schema is fixed and not expected to change. You can refer this link to understand it better http://itsallaboutruby.blogspot.com/2011/01/difference-between-propery-bag-and.html
• Avoid using XML as they are slow, instead try use JSON.
• Try using Rho JSON for parsing, if you have been using JSON. Rho JSON will minimize your sync time.

        parsed = Rho::JSON.parse("[{\"count\":10}]")

     You can refer following link to dig it in detail:

• Bulk Sync :  Bulk sync will make huge deference in performance while syncing from rhosync.

•   Push : Rhosync Push API also give a edge on performance while syncing.
