It looks like this:</p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p><a href="https://blog.launchpad.net/images/posts/2011/11/prev_menu_branches2.png"><img src="https://blog.launchpad.net/images/posts/2011/11/prev_menu_branches2.png" alt=""></a> <em>Old menu</em></p> </td> <td></td> <td> <p><a href="https://blog.launchpad.net/images/posts/2011/11/new_menu_branches2.png"><img src="https://blog.launchpad.net/images/posts/2011/11/new_menu_branches2.png" alt=""></a> <em>New menu</em></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Calculating the number of branches took way too much time for people/teams with a huge number of branches (e.g. <a href="https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches">https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches</a>), up to the point that they were getting timeouts.</p> <p>The new design, along with optimisations we&rsquo;ve made to the database queries, should improve performance for everyone.</p>
