Site Caching, SAAS server locations, Mirrors

[blaggacao]

Let me drop a feature request

---

Adopt a global reach / performance strategy
... for significant performance improvments in continents other than Europe or North America.

---

Issues:
...currently faced out of Bogotá, Colombia.

• SaaS is SLOW, not suitable to adopt in produccion :(
• Website doesn't seem to be cached, coffe brake loading times in some cases
• Internet Backbones via the US sometimes seem to get congested (especially during business hours) - I'm not able to make an informed statement about that,it's my suspicion. as on saturday and in the evenings (colombian time) it got better. Connecting to a local server or to a server in Sao Paolo showed way better results than connecting to a server in the US or europe (Speedtest)
• More developing countries might not have the best international backbone connection.
• Installation from nightl.odoo.com is terribly slow. Mirrors might be worth a consideration. Maybe due to odoo-update ?

Final remarks:

---

I think there is a strategic fit to page 53 in http://www.slideshare.net/openobject/the-future-of-openerp-open-days-2013-keynote-presentation-fabien-pinckaers-ceo-openerp

Maybe this ideas could lead to a new local caching mechnism for the webapp to lower traffic and add (limited) offline capacities (backlogging?) - i think connectivity as a whole is a huge topic in dev countries. (Regular Outages with local generators, Internet breakdowns, etc.)

@nhomar, any similar experience in mx, vz, pe, cl?

Or maybe just rely on fastly-powered githubs CDN (http://www.fastly.com/), converge to provision from checkout as best practice and yeah! have a closer look on ansible for those planned FAQ cookbooks
