[SalesForce] Deployment with Force.com IDE Taking Forever

We're experiencing extremely long deployment times even when deploying single classes using the force.com IDE plugin to eclipse. The deployment takes up to 1 hour yet running all unit tests from the web GUI takes a few minutes.

During deployment the eclipse.exe process uses 25% CPU but we don't know what it's doing. We enabled a debug log in the Web GUI for our user but nothing was logged during deployment.

How can we speed things up?

How can we profile what is going on?

UPDATE: I deployed a class by editing it directly on the production server in eclipse. The save takes forever again but I noticed in the web GUI that the class is deployed and the deployment (under Setup -> Deploy -> Monitor Deployments) is complete. So basically eclipse hangs for 1 hour after deployment for no apparent reason and nothing helpful in the logs.

Possible solution: wait till deployment is finished and kill eclipse!

When you deploy any Apex at all, even one class, all of the test methods in your org will run. Depending on how much Apex you have, how much test data you generate, this could take a long time.

To speed things up, there are some options you have such as reducing your bulk test batch sizes (for instance if you are testing 200 records, try reducing that to 100).

The weblink is available in your object (the xml file where you copied the above weblink info from, but you're not having it in your deployment.

As you're deploing the layout, where the button is on you also have to include the button itself.

Your package.xml needs to include:

<types>
     <member>KNDY4__Accounting_Entry__c.Account_Inquiry</member>
     <name>WebLink</name>
</types

[SalesForce] Why is the report taking forever to run

You can use things like Custom Indexes, Skinny Tables, etc to reduce the time it takes to run a report. There are some limits to the amount of data that can be returned so please look in the below guides for the exact numbers.

When dealing with Large Data Volumes (LDV) on the Salesforce Platform you should always ensure that your reports use "Selective Critiera". Otherwise they can time out.

Please see this cheatsheet for how to ensure you criteria is selective which has detailed numbers on what is selective:

You should also look at the Force.com best practices for LDV data sets which is here: http://www.salesforce.com/docs/en/cce/ldv_deployments/salesforce_large_data_volumes_bp.pdf

Hope that helps.
