In reality it was an overall goal, and one which we did pursue with a vengeance. The number of timeouts dropped to under 10 a day (!!) for the whole site over the 3.0 release, and dozens of pages which issues O(n) queries were fixed. I do get the message: it's still not fast enough; however that does not mean that we haven't worked hard at improving it. And 77 queries is actually not that bad; using an ORM with a full security model you're hard pressed to display as much information as we do without a cross-request cache. > Indeed.

It /is/ being addressed as we speak, and that's one of the reasons this conversation is important to me. On the other hand, the feedback I get, despite me asking otherwise, doesn't really give me much to work on -- there is too much talking down our process, where what I am looking for is more encouraging feedback. -- Christian Robottom Reis | http://async.com.br/~kiko/ | [+55 16] 3376 0125 -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
