RE: [development] Rating module quality

Off the bat, my first question is whether you're caching totals or not. When 1000 nodes have 1000 reviews each, calculating all totals, averages, etc. on the fly is going to get rather slow.

That's one of the primary goals of the system -- when external modules plug in their own calculations (median score, number of votes cast for a criteria, karma-weighted vote value, whatever) the aggregate data is stored as a 'voting result' record. Those result records are what get queried when nodes are viewed, etc. There's a recalculation hit whenever someone *casts* a vote, but never when someone *views* voting results. --Jeff
