Localization and very bad performance
February 08, 2015, 09:03:57 am
I upgraded the CiviCRM version last week (from 3.xx) and ran into a huge performance problem. CiviCRM pages within Drupal take more than a minute to load and time-out. When I changed the language back to US-English it seems to work fine again.

I tried it several time to see if minor tweaks would change things. But it doesn't. Setting the language to NL gives me the problem.

Btw.. this is a clean install. I was not able to upgrade my current installation and am migrating with down and uploads.

Does anyone know what the problem might be with the performance?

If you have not installed php gettext that can make a huge difference.

Thank you.. I'll talk to the hosting provider to see if it is installed (don't have shell access myself)

Native Gettext is usually compiled in PHP, and it is usually present. The main issue is making sure that the operating system has enabled the "locale" for nl_NL.utf8 ("locale -a" .. which reminds me that we could probably do some of these checks from within CiviCRM). If you are in NL, and your hosting provider is a NL-based organisation, in 90% of cases, they probably support it.

Just to clarify, because the PHP packages are really confusing: "php-gettext" is a library written in PHP that provides gettext emulation. This is what CiviCRM uses by default. Native gettext is compiled in CiviCRM.  (the documentation is currently a bit of a mess, any help is much appreciated :-)
