Question

I have a django app which displays the list of items for each client. it displays an item id, an alternative id, title and more other information. Because I have a lot of I items (Each client could have thousand of items), it can take very long to load up all of the items. Is there a way to improve this speed?

def client_items(request, client_id = 0):
    client = None
    items = None
    try:
        client = models.Client.objects.get(pk = client_id)
        items = client.storageitem_set.all()
    except:
        return HttpResponse(reverse(return_clients))
    return render_to_response('items.html', {'items':items, 'client':client}, context_instance = RequestContext(request))

{% for item in items %}
        <tr class="items_table_row">
                <td><input type="checkbox" name="{{item.pk}}" value="{{item.pk}}" checked="checked"></td>
                <td>{{item.company_id}}</td><td>{{item.alternative_id}}</td><td>{{item.title}}</td><td>{{item.type}}</td><td>{{item.format}}</td>
                <td><span id="{{item.pk}}" name="type">{{item.itemstatushistory_set.latest}}</span></td><td>{{item.itemstatushistory_set.latest.date.date|date:"d M Y"}}</td>
{% endfor %}
