This was covered on the list a while back -- in Firefox it was taking 40-50 s on our staff clients to save records.

We've switched to Google Chrome & the time is now much more manageable.

I don't believe a diagnosis or fix were ever found for the Firefox issue.

As pointed out, this is because of Javascript.

Question: can Koha operate properly with JS disabled? If not, why not?

Observation: JS is quite slow compared the server itself. Perhaps the *HUGE* task of validating a MARC save could be (optionally) left to the server to validate.

this is a good suggestion, but might require a pretty big rewrite of the marc-editor code (not for the faint-hearted) another easier speed win could be to find the slow/often-executed JS code thru profiling, and rewrite it with some optimised jquery is jquery code faster? ermmm i'm not sure actually ;) just a thought...
