Netweaver portal and LTM
is there anything more substantial out there on what you can do for the SPA portal product? I have read and implemented most of what they have published in the netweaver deployment guide, but still feel that there should be more we can do to speed it up. Our deployment model is a centralized server farm that will deliver content globally. Internally we are hampered by having to deal with IE6 and all of it's inabilty to deal with compressed content very well.
Given our corporate standard for a browser I have challenged our SAP dev team to embrace some of the guidance that Steve Souders provided for improving HTTP performance. I am getting a significant amount of resistance at this point to applying minification to the the JS needed for the portal, which would give us our best improvement at this point. The SAP portal is very chatty and sets nearly everything to expire in the past, making it non-cachable unless you have the WA module.
Any additional guidance would be awesome.
Thanks,
