Opened: Nov 05, 2015 Severity: 3-Major
Users may face slow response times or in some cases unresponsive interfaces (GUI, tmsh, etc.).
All releases until 12.1.0 except all new hotfixes that are currently in the pipeline (01/06/2016)
The problem exacerbates if the system has a big firewall rule configuration. Especially complex configuration which involve rule-lists, address-lists, etc. may cause additional delays or cause unresponsive behavior.
GUI no longer allows expand all option for rule-lists when the total count of rules exceeds a pre-determined threshold.
The data processing mechanism used for displaying firewall rules has been changed for optimization. New set of GUI optimizations have been implemented.
