CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

A site we look after has been crawling today with excessive menu rebuilds taking place and a really bad user experience. One thing that has also been going on today is that someone has been editing a lot of profiles. I've been looking to see what has been repeatedly causing the menu_rebuilds and from my reading of the code it looks like CiviCRM has not only been causing the rebuilds but has been flushing all caches all the time too! Can someone see if I'm right:

I believe this bit of code runs each time the profile is saved

Line 331

CRM_uf_form_group.php
        // update cms integration with registration / my account
        require_once 'CRM/Utils/System.php';
        CRM_Utils_System::updateCategories( );

While calls this function designed to bring any large site to it's knees and make it beg for mercy at the alter of CiviCRM

    static function updateCategories( ) {
        // copied this from profile.module. Seems a bit inefficient, but i dont know a better way
        // CRM-3600
        cache_clear_all();
        menu_rebuild();
    }
