Hi, some thoughts about performance of ez: ez2 had a performance problem with doing a lot of queries (e.g. the getTree methods), but was very fast with template processing. At ez3, it's vice versa - the query amount was dramaticly reduced, but the template processing is very slow. Now the ez crew is working hard on the new "template compilation feature" which is very unstable at the moment. Next problem: The amount of cache-files. At my installation, "clearing the cache" is a big challenge for my server (clearing the cache completely lasts 60 up to 120 seconds) And after that, the challenge is even bigger: recreating the cache. And - if you have "luck" - two or more spiders crawls your site right at the moment you are clearing the cache and causes a lot of unique page views. So the you can't speak of "performance" anymore, "slowness" is the better word ;-) I've made some thoughts, one idea is: Why using cache-files? Why not using the database for caching (add one or more "cache-tables")? Has anybody of the ez crew tried this?
Advantages:
-) Reduces the "cache-files" to a minimum -) A better Cache-Handling is possible
Kind regards, Emil.
Best wishes,
Georg.
