typeahead in a field - too slow

I'm hoping for some advice on trying to speed up a typeahead on a field.

Using the xpink client a have a xpage that has a typeahead field on it.

I am using a @dblookup to a different database on the same server. The lookup is painfully slow and I'm trying to work out why?

The view I'm lookup has two columns only - sorted but hidden from users.

There are approx 300 documents in it and these are all small with 20 fields no attachments.

My lookup code is

var db = Array("SVRTEST/XYZ","RM\\xxx00A.nsf");

@DbColumn(db,"custLookupByName",1)

I have an onchange event but this doesn't trigger till the selection is made so I don't think that is the reason the typeahead is slow.

Any ideas.

Thanks

Re: typeahead in a field - too slow

ok so the speed had nothing to do with my db lookup. I had an obsolete data source on the xpage that no longer existed.

Removing this fixed the problem.

But I also created a scopevariable that gets set afterpage load to store the values of my dblookup. Just so if I did it continually I didn't have to go back to the server.
