They are slow even on broadband. That page definitely needs to be split, somehow.
Would it not be possible to employ a technique like that used by the DocBook "chunking" stylesheet. This would allow you to have a HTML page for the summary and one for each of the test sets.

Yes, and it's actually quite simple. Check out tools/boostbook/xsl/testing/Jamfile.xsl for an example of reusing Docbook's chunker (helps portability). Doug

Thanks for a pointer. We are now splitting the regression test logs file using <exsl:document>. I didn't use DocBook chunker, because I didn't want to introduce another dependency (another thing to download and configure). Right now the reports are dependent on Boost and libxslt only. Currently reports are run and tested only on libxslt processor, so we don't have the portability issue yet. -- Misha Bergal MetaCommunications Engineering

Maybe one for each library. If the granularity is too fine, there will be a different set of problems. The maintenance and uploading of too many small files could become an issue. --Beman
