4.4 is zippy and nice speedup over 4.3 on my OS X and linux hosting.
Have to second that! 4.3 and 4.4 is pretty fast even with the default install / config / settings. . @R_D_: You should consider reading a few articles on performance tuning of large php web applications. eZPublish is huge in files and very flexible which makes it a bit difficult to grip on first sight when new to it. This is not only a problem with eZPublish but with all php-applications that overcome the size of a mid-range wordpress ;-) . Considering your other posts over the past few days I would like to point out reading the basics of eZPublish, its design choices, the tech manual and its fundamentals of separation between content and design. You then should see the advantages of eZP compared to other web cms. Then continue reading a few community tutorials and try to enhance some basic functionalities and create a few designs on your own. By doing this you will gain more knowledge on its internal structures and are able to maintain a huge site with a finger-snip. There are also some books on eZPublish which might help you getting started. The ez community is willing to help starters with ez. We proved that more than once. At last I also would like to point out, that eZPublish is not only a eCMS (Enterprise Content Management System) which has a crowded ecosystem and community but it is also (more) a CMF - a content management framework. A framework with which you as developer can realize small to huge publications, websites, whatever (due to its flexibility). There is no such thing as point-n-click website generator which runs flawlessly. Of course each software of such sheer size has its flaws, bugs, its culprits and its old-growing stuff it cannot let go of. On the other hand it is very flexible, stable, pretty scalable and in most active development. . I'm sorry I drifted in such a way but I could not help me in when reading this and other posts of you than to point out the most basics first. Please don't feel attacked in any way - it was not my intention. What I really wanted to ask was if you could provide us more information about your system and if you could describe WHAT is being slow. Without any of such fundamental information it is hard to ensure a professional problem solution. What exactly did you install? The eZP installer lets you choose between a plain site with no content and up to a full blown ezFlow-site with some demo content in it. Did you follow the instructions of the installer correctly? Is your user the Webserver runs under able to read and write into the ezpublish var-directory? Without that, eZPublish cannot create fundamental needed cache-files and thus has to send complex sql-queries to your database and must go through a lot of php-classes and files instead of just looking for and existing cache-file and serving it. It would not be the first time this problem would occur. If you are new to setting directory and file permissions please consider a few basic linux shell tutorials or use windows as platform. Learning basic linux commands will take you a day but you will have this knowledge forever. The eZPublish / php windows-Port (if can name it such way) has gone massive impovements and php is gone really fast on IIS 7.x on win 2008 (even I as a frequent windows basher have to admit that). . So, R_D_, I hope to get some details on your specific performance problem.
Cheers, Chris . PS: why is it that most folks use os x to 'develop' recently?
