Just for the record, this topic was also posted on the Satchmo list and there are some decent performance improvement related discussions. No doubt there are configurations of Satchmo that result in less than desirable speed but there are some real life comments/examples from folks running big

Django is the best thing since the Civil Rights Movement. Satchmo is ok for the most part except for certain things which do not work unless you correct the errors in the programming. I'm sorry for ranting on the board. I will never rant again. @bloatedmanat

opinions on software should never be taken personally and should never be silenced. I take heat over programming on a daily basis just as I have for the past 30 years. It's part of the business. Good programmers take it, grow from it and come back with a better product. There was no slight inte

Personally, I don't see why this has caused such a fuss. It is quite obvious from OPs original message that it was a bit of light hearted humor. I think the most appropriate response here would be "loosen up..?" Cal On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 4:26 PM, Jacob Kaplan-Moss wrote: > On Thu, Jul 28, 20
