NetSuite Platform unable to handle long variables
All,
I am working on a Suitelet that takes forever to load and have narrowed down the problem to the use of variables (and arrays) containing a lot of data.
To help support understand my issue, I showed them how the following code takes over 10 seconds to execute as a Suitelet, while it takes a fraction of a second to execute on my browser:
function testSuitelet(request, response){ var html = ''; for (var i = 0; i<5000; i++) { html+= '123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012 '; } response.write('hello '); } Support replied that this seemed like an acceptable time to execute the code and directed me to the documentation. Can someone help me do a sanity check?
