Experience with Quiz on Moodle

We are running BB in full and Moodle as a pilot. A colleague of mine expressed the following concern on Moodle quiz administration. "I gave a quiz to my students last Saturday on Mooddle and the experience was not very smooth.

Once the 120 students logged on to the system it became very slow and the submission of answers took quite a while. I had believed that the internet traffic on Saturdays should be less congested and that the system should have been faster or at least normal." Has anyone else had this experience?

Please share the experience.

Thanks

Tom

Moodle quiz with large numbers of concurrent users is known to be problematic, particularly if you use MySQL + MyISAM tables, which have crappy locking. There have been a number of threads about this in the forums. Worth searching for.

Thanks Tim for responding. So I should guess there is no solution this far to improve the situation.

Thanks.. Tom
