Hello,
I help manage several LON-CAPA courses and have noticed that one of them 
has very long wait times when changing course parameter settings.
Our PHYS207 course has a wait time of about 40 seconds after hitting the 
"update parameter display" key. This becomes very distressing if there are 
four parameters that need to be changed for multiple assignments every 
week.
Interestingly, most of our other courses have wait times of only about 15 
to 20 seconds when updating parameters. 
The PHYS207 course is our "oldest" LON-CAPA course and has been cloned 
about ten times now since 2005 (each clone from the previous semester's 
version). Could that be an issue?

Thanks,
Alison
