Web.Lists, GetLists, and TryGetLists Performance

Scenario

• Getting a list or library from a spweb with a large number of lists and libraries. In my test case each spweb had about 90,000 document libraries on sp2010 sp1.
• You cannot cache the spweb.Lists object across calls. 
• Ex:  Dynamically looking up a library for each document uploaded via a custom web service or event receiver.

Issue

• Each call to spWeb.Lists.TryGetList(libName) took 13 seconds to process since any access to the Lists collection returns the metadata for all lists in the spweb.

Resolution

• Had to recode the solution to access the libraries using the URL rather than the list name, resulting in sub-second processing. spWeb.GetList(listURL)

List Template Event Receiver Bug

Scenario

• You have an event receiver enabled on a specific list via the Receivers ListUrl attribute.

Issue

• If you make a List Template of a list that has been mapped to an event receiver, new lists created from that list template will have the event receiver attached to it regardless of the new URL.

Resolution

• Use SharePoint Manager to fix this or disable the event receiver before making the template.
