cmsmadesimple site too slow...

[Ted]

Keep in mind that disabling some modules won't do much for memory on the frontend.  Certain modules (wysiwygs, cmsmailer, module manager, etc) are only loaded if you're in the admin.

The real issue with performance hit comes from php loading a lot of code on each page load.  Installing an opcode cache (like eaccelerator) almost always fixes this problem.  Obviously, if you're on a shared host, this isn't something you can do and instead have to ask.  But, honestly, anyone who is running a production php server without an opcode cache really isn't in the know.

This server isn't particularly fast or anything, but the opcode cache makes it seem that way...

So you are saing that the only way to solve is install some opcode cache, otherwise CMSMS will always be slow?

Although I feel that viewing my site is pretty slow (between 2-10 seconds per page), I don't mind too much. My big issue (I'm not sure if I'm the only one suffering with it), is that the administration area takes a long time to load. I've timed various actions a reported them below:
Load up login page : 10 seconds
Login: 12 seconds
Load Edit Stylesheet page: 12 seconds
Load Edit Page: 34 seconds
Save Page: 24 seconds

I host a few other sites on the same server and haven't noticed any performance issues and my host insists that there are (MySQL?) processes from CMSMS that are tying up the CPU.

As a test I installed a fresh copy of CMSMS on the server and even with removing all stylesheets and stripping the default template right down, the speed difference was only marginally better than my full site.

I have the same issue that you do Alfredo. I posted about it here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 827.0.html a couple of months back but I still haven't found a solution.

I'm somewhat used to the 5-10 sec load times for each page but it's the 60+ sec load times for the admin which really kill it for me.

Hope you have better luck than me.

One thing I did discover is that if you have more than one content block and use the FCKeditorX, then the back end slows down horribly.  I switched to the TinyMCE editor and although not as good, it has much less overhead and works faster where it is called multipel times.  Perhaps there's some redevelopment programming that can be done to reduce the need to re-run the editor for each content block on a Page?  I still have other unknown issues slowing down my sites though.
