Performance related questions
April 15, 2010, 07:30:06 am
Hi,

Is there a section dedicated to talk about performance issues?  I have a fresh installation, but the performance of the system is not as good as I expected.  Much slower than the demo system.  And the response time is quite sporadic, sometimes its fast, sometimes its slow, so just want to find out why.  Maybe settings related to PHP or Apache, not sure.

Btw, is there any profiling tool that we can use with Civicrm?

Thanks

Donald Lobo

where are you hosting your site? We do recommend that folks use a VPS to host their CiviCRM install

Note that 3.2 has got a fair number of query optimizations (thanx to the NYSS project)

I have several installs.  One with a hosting provider in HK, one on Amazon EC2, one on my company server.  But all are not as snappy as the demo system.  Sometimes the browser is just waiting for the server to response (and I have no clue what the server is doing at that moment).  All the servers have plenty of memory and processing power to spare.  So I suspect this has something to do with my Apache/PHP setup (I am using the LAMPP stack from apachefriends).  Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.  Any profiling tools that I can use on the server side?  Need to find out what causes the slow response.

Thanks!

in addition to the tips there, i would also add a few more (i'll do a blog post on this after civicon)

a. if using drupal enabled js / css aggregration

b. if a large site, consider using memcache to reduce db queries
