Geraint Edwards	Thursday 14 July 2005 11:23:44 am I've now rebuilt php with --enable-memory-limit so that I can track memory usage. The results are rather alarming! A really basic page (already view cached & compiled) uses 9460KB of memory and the time bottleneck I'm seeing coincides with an increased usage from 2247KB to 5570KB. More complex pages/templates use even more! Does eZPublish really need to use this much memory? Geraint
Geraint Edwards	Thursday 14 July 2005 12:06:57 pm Ok - some rooting around and I find some comments about APC reducing memory usage. So I've tried it out and get the following approx results: No accelerators 0.50 secs 9.4MB php_accelerator 0.23 secs 9.7MB APC 0.14 secs 1.1MB I think I have my answer.
Paul Borgermans	Thursday 14 July 2005 12:22:25 pm Hi Geraint Yes, eZ publish is resource hungry (both RAM and CPU), even with a php accelerator and some fairly simple presentation logic in templates. If you ever are to be slashdotted, turn the static caching on which is available from 3.6.x :-) -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
