    • Compared to mine:

      Connection Rate Download Time
      14.4K 584.90 seconds
      28.8K 304.45 seconds
      33.6K 264.39 seconds
      56K 168.23 seconds
      ISDN 128K 68.17 seconds
      T1 1.44Mbps 27.83 seconds

      Anybody want to wait almost 3 minutes for mine? Ah well, the people I primarly support is programmers anyway... :)

      -- Maybe I should look into reducing some of mine too...

    • OK, I'm still in pursuit of speed.

      I read through a number of sites/articles including including developer.yahoo.com/performance/index.html#rules

      That led me to aciddrop.com/2008/02/04/php-speedy-updat...and-drupal/#comments

      I understand that a plugin is available for Jooma 1.0.xx and is under development for J!1.5. In the meantime I'm looking for assistance in manually using php_speedy, as in where to put the php_speedy folder and what to add to either the root index.php file of the template index.php file. I'm using J!1.5.1 and HiveMind.

      I've tried following the instructions on the web site but I've not been successful. I've emailed the developer and have not received an answer yet so I thought that I would ask if anyone has tried this with J!1.5. Any thoughts?

    • Not sure about this php_speedy thing. Regarding speed.. Just make sure you have a good webserver, plenty of ram and are running a good php cache like XCache ( xcache.lighttpd.net/ ). Also just enabling the cache is the first step, you can use the xcache php interface to fine tune your settings. For example, I had to bump up the RAM on our demo server and the xcache ram usage, as well as tweak the ttl (time to live) and gc (garbage collection) as we have so many demos and therefore so many files. Things are smoking now though! hivemind loads in a flash!

    • Thanks for the feedback Andy. As I mentioned earlier in the thread I'm sharing on Dreamhost. I'm hoping to install a php accelerator but it's a bit beyond me right now. I would like to have someone who knows what they are doing install an accelerator ... I'm not entirely sure what can and can't be done on Dreamhost's shared service. Until I get that sorted out I'm trying to become more knowledgeable about site performance in general. Reducing the number of requests seems to be the priority. I ran into this solution and it seems promising. I just don't quite know how to implement it either (haha) ... yet. The Wordpress plugin seems to work well.

    • you wont be able to install a php accelerator on a shared host, it's something that has to be setup at the php level.

    • eaccelerator is better than nothing but doesn't hold a candle to xcache.
