I heard that using SEF will slow down your site.
Is this true? I am looking for the best SEF solution as well but don't know enough.

I can slow down load times as it requires extra database queries, but this is the same as most mambots and modules. I don't notice the extra time because it's so small.
Apparently ARTIO JoomSEF is slow in comparison to OpenSEF, that's written in the reviews on extensions.joomla.org.
I'd say go for OpenSEF, I don't think you'll notice the difference but the benefits are worth it if you do.

Regarding to SEF Link, anyone find a component that can make SMF forum link to be nice link too?
For example, site.com/forum/general_discussion/new_title.html
I tried ARTIO's one and see that it makes the forum url nicer than OpenSEF... But the link still not related to the title.. It make the link to : for example site.com/forum/forum1.html

That's quite an improvement, but I'm with you, I want it perfect! There is development going on to do it with OpenSEF, here's a demo of a part working solution with Oristo's bridge, it's done by predator from OpenSEF:
And this is a new version of the bridge from Oristo which is in testing:
That does have SEF urls but they're not built up in the way that I'd like -
More details on the OpenSEF forum:
Hopefully predator will have his work completed soon, that version looks promising.

Thanks Tom,
I will give OpenSEF a try.
Now Joomla 1.5 which will be released in 2 days, should have better SEF support, right?

Infortunately I have issues with openSEF and all similars components :'( :'( :'(
The component doesn't work properly (404 errors on all pages with .html). I think it's due to some problem with my server. I'm with Hostgator and it's the first time I can't use a component!
It's necessary to change or add some code in the .htaccess file?

Hello, Franck
To use SEF Component, in the .htaccess file :########## Begin - 3rd Party SEF Section ############# Use this section if you are using a 3rd party (Non Joomla! core) SEF extension - e.g. OpenSEF, 404_SEF, 404SEFx, SEF Advance, etc # #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes## #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC] #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d #RewriteRule (.*) index.php # ########## End - 3rd Party SEF Section
must be uncommented, so it will be :########## Begin - 3rd Party SEF Section ############# Use this section if you are using a 3rd party (Non Joomla! core) SEF extension - e.g. OpenSEF, 404_SEF, 404SEFx, SEF Advance, etc # RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes## RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.htm|\.php|\.html|/[^.]*)$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule (.*) index.php # ########## End - 3rd Party SEF Section

I've been battling with two sites that have Community Builder installed. Open SEF is not compatable with CB.
I disabled the 'My Profile' choice in the Open SEF configuration. But, Joomlaboard is also integrated with CB and does't function also.
I ended up disabling Open SEF after reading the Open SEF forums.
It seems that Open SEF would work if I just loose CB, but my members expect the see their profile image when they login.
