Incredible amount of toJSON's being called while rendering about backbone-relational HOT 2 CLOSED

What do you see when you take a look at the resulting json? The numbers don't really strike me as odd when you're serializing a complete tree of objects?

Looks from the trace that you serialize some 16 objects, each of which has five HasOne relations, which in turn have some some HasOne relations, which have a HasMany relation yet again. So you end up with some 16 * 5 = 80 * 3 = 240 * 3 => roughly 720 (+ 240 + 80 + 16) calls, before all models have been serialized and the recursion dies out.

Do you really need all the related data in the render method? If not, it's probably better to pass model.attributes in as the template parameters. If you need related data, you probably don't need all of it. Try adding the includeInJSON parameter strategically to some relations that you don't need to have serialized fully (not here, and not in save calls either, since these are global settings), with a value of false or a string referencing the idAttribute.

(Btw, I see that you still invoke some super methods on Backbone.Model, in https://github.com/Concert/Concert/blob/loggedinpage/concertapp/static/js/lib/models/ConcertModel.js . Those should be invoked on Backbone.RelationalModel, so destroyed models get cleaned up properly)

Thanks so much.

I hope to fix this in the near future.

Also thanks for the note on my model super classes.
