Should I care about the DOM processing time in Newrelic Rails app?

I am using Newrelic on my Ruby on Rails app? In the "Browser page load time" section, I can see a large portion of the loading time falls into the "DOM processing"(about 5 sec). I just want to know if this is normal? Should I be worrying about this and optimizing this more? There a lots of JS code in my app and many DOM are dynamically created, I think that is why its taking the most time to load. But the Firebug shows the load time is 6.18s (onload: 5.16s), seems to be pretty fast loading to me, and many js load a at the bottom of the page.

Thanks

  • If you want to improve client load times, then yes, you should care :) If not, don't worry about it.
