Hello,
I am using moodle 2.3.
I have created many of the quiz(multiple choice questions) in my moodle server.
I have noticed that all the multiple choice are running very slow. Why?
Is it possible to make it run fast?
My thanks in advance.

- Install Moodle 2.6 (or anything after 2.4).
- Read and apply http://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Performance_recommendations
- Measure what is going on on your servers (CPU, memory, discIO, networkIO, ...), so you can see where the bottleneck is.
Hi Tim, just a related quick question.
Would enabling the "Autosave period" feature in Moodle 2.6 slow down the quiz performance in some way, especially if you are expecting 30+ students who will be taking the same quiz at the same time? Have any test been done in this area? Thanks!

It might slow things down slightly. I don't know of any side-by-side comparisons of server load.
Do the back of the envelope calculation. 30 students, autosave every minute (assuming you choose the highest frequency). That is only one request every 2 seconds, which is not much. (Well, I have just been load-testing the OU system with an average load of 30 requests per second, so it does not seem like a lot to me.)
