Web Recorder - Extract Data - why 12 second duration

[cswa_bma]

Hi Forum.

Used AA 10+ years ago and am glad to be using it again.

I created a task that involves the Web Recorder that...

- 1. Opens a web page of my hosted database service.
- 2. Logs in
- 3. navs to a saved dynamic report
- 4. uses Extract Data to copy data from a table on row 2 column 6 to variable1
- 5. uses Extract Data to copy data from a table on row 2 column 4 to variable2

...and a few more steps that work perfectly.

My question is why do steps 4 and 5 both take 12 seconds each? All other steps appears to run as fast as is safely possible.

I have tried the task using all speeds inclusing "Turbo" and I can't determine why copying a string and storing it to a variable could take 12 seconds when all other steps, many of which appear to be much more complex, take a 1 or 2 seconds at most.

The task is spending almost 30 seconds on steps 4 and 5. That limits my processing to around 2 updates per minute when I loop. I will gladly accept this rate if it is the best that AA can offer. Just want to explore in case I did something that is causing a needlessly long duration.

All comments and advice appreciated.
