Improvement request - Still updating a firewall requires so much time

TTFB stands for time to first byte. To put it simply, this is a measurement of how long the browser has to wait before receiving its first byte of data from the server. The longer it takes to get that data, the longer it takes to display your page Krogerfeedback

I find the speed of the XG UI excruciating. On a working system, already configured, for just a simple inspection or just a couple of edits to the rules it is slow but now worth worrying about. But trying to configure a new system, esp. when you need to experiment a little (I have spend the last 3 days setting up v18 EAP3) then you will spend HOURS just trying to do something that on other firewalls takes only a few minutes. After HOURS you get fatigue and start forgetting what you just did 5 clicks before which makes the whole process open to errors and frustration.

I think the problem might have to do with the not "updating the firewall backend" but the recalculating the main page counters and performance indicators. That needs to be rethought - when I am working on setting up the firewall, and testing FUNCTION, I don't care at that point about the PERFORMANCE indicators. That main page "control centre" is brilliant, but those counters should be constantly updated with every UI refresh on other pages.

typo, for clarification: That main page "control centre" is brilliant, but those counters should NOT be constantly updated with every UI refresh on other pages.   

I agree with lemonadesoda 

UI and logs should be the highest priority faetures to rewrite as now the UI is very slow compared to the market. Updating a firewall rule on UTM9 requires a second.
