I think you are missing something. And, the comparison to a test doesn't hold up.
I heard about the slowness issues way before I tested it. So, did I say, "Damn, I guess I have to install it anyway. I can't wait to see how fast it runs." I wanted to know a little bit of an idea.
Maybe the people who are complaining have a Pentium II. Maybe they don't have a good server. I don't know.
But, I want to have some idea. I want to know if I can expect 5 seconds or 20 seconds. I want my staff to say yeah or nay.
If you have mostly Medicare or Medicaid, ICD-10 isn't nearly as much of an issue anyway.
Maybe I should add to the thread and say, "Why would people install v8 who possibly don't need ICD-10 not trial it."
I would much rather wait the two months and see if a newer version works better. But, going back to the hardware, at least I could say, yeah even on this hardware, it is slow. So, what can I possibly do to make it faster. What if I try it with full SQL. Maybe I try dual processors.
All I know is that I know of two people who are seriously considering going back to v7 and re-entering all of the charts over the past three weeks. They wouldn't be there if they had tried it first.
Maybe the tone of my thread was too much for you. Maybe I should apologize. I am not calling anyone stupid for blindly installing when they knew it may have performance issues. The biggest thing would be trying wired vs wireless. If you try it on one computer, and it is 3 seconds to open a chart, then you try it wireless, and it is 10 seconds, then maybe you wait and wire your office first.
It just confuses me, that is all. I guess it doesn't confuse you. That's OK.
