David,
yes, I have used ION Script in a "realistic" way. Let me start with stating
that if you are a clever web programmer, ION Script is probably not the way
to go. I am not a clever web programmer, but I needed to provide some
Software to a wider audience quickly. At the same time I wanted to keep the
source code local to avoid 50 people working with 50 different versions of
the code. ION Script was my solution to the problem. The interface is not
the most pretty I have seen, but it does its purpose. A remarkable fact is
that I was able to do the transition within about a day or two. All it took
was throwing away the widget and recoding it as an ION Script web page. The
load time of the page is virtually zero and I do not see any slow down by
ION itself. (Of course this does not mean that I am not wishing IDL could
run faster at times.) So, I cannot confirm any of the problems you are
having, although you were not specific as to whether you are using ION Java
or ION Script. Maybe you should ask for a demo key and do a local
installation.
Cheers,
Haje
