Changing Style Vars Extremely Slow

[albanah]

I have been trying to change the default style vars. It is very very slow when I save the changes.

any help to speed up vb5?
It is very slow indeed compared to vb4!

We've done some work on this but there is a state of diminishing returns involved. Since editing the style variables won't affect the end user, we have to try to balance things between user performance, admincp performance, and other resources used. With most things in the AdminCP, we will tend to go with preferring performance for the end user over the admincp. What version of vBulletin 5 are you using?

I'm using latest version 5.2.5
It is really very slow
It takes hours to customise a style!

"really very slow" isn't quantifiable. Only takes a couple of seconds to save on my test sites. If you click on the group header (bolded words), it loads all the style variables at once and you can edit them in one take.

Thank you Wayne on the hint of group editing.
it takes about 10x the time of vb4 for same site.
