3.1 Performance
All inputting of grades, viewing, and options commands must execute instantaneously, except for the following:
The time to execute all administrative commands must be instantaneous, except for any delays due to network transmission of data from the central host.
In general, the performance of Grader program commands that must access data across a network is subject to potential network delays. The Grader program must transmit data as fast as is possible on any given network, but delays due to external network circumstances are beyond the control of the Grader Program.
There are no specific requirements for the allowable size of a grade book in terms of the number of students and graded items. A grade book consisting of about 100 students and 100 graded items is the maximum expected size during normal use.
The maximum expected sizes of the Grader program grade books are the following:
The Grader program must be able to operate with grade books of sizes larger than these normal maximums. However, the program need not meet the previously-enumerated time performance requirements for grade books larger than normal maximum sizes.
