Speed

Hi

How can I speed up Sugars performance? The screens etc take ages to load.
I have a 2mb broadband connection.
Its hosted by a company using some good linux boxes.
Is there some cache setting that would help?

buy more memory and increase php.ini memory limit...

buy more memory and increase php.ini memory limit...

I am a novice and just installed SugarSpike on a 3gig dual Core Pentium 2gig RAM running Windows XP Media Center Edition.

I don' thave a hosted install, it goes up against localhost.

Screen response seems a little slower than an application like GoldMine.

Is there some tuning I can / should do, e.g. php.ini memory limit, to Apache, MySQL, or SugarCRM ?

Would someone define "slow"? Maybe I am too forgiving. I have the following machines:

3G Pentium with 3G memory for my business, contact screen ListView comes up in 1.75 to 2.25 secionds over local area network and about 1 seconds slower over the T1

3G Pentium with 1G memory on a Cable modem hosting 11 SugarCRM setups (most are test setups with just the demo data loaded) and the speeds are maybe 3-5 seconds for the listviews depending on the size of the database. The biggest one is about 5,000 contacts.

Both servers are running SUSE 9.x and are tweaked pretty well.

We have not found it slow. I define slow as > 4 second page response times,

We find that using a PHP accelerator works well. We use APC http://pecl.php.net/package/APC

hope this helps

Throwing good hardware and network connections is always a good choice, however from a software standpoint, I've found that using lighttpd instead of Apache seems to give some performance boost. Of course this means having to have a "fastcgi" version of PHP to use. The best way to do this is compile PHP from source if possible. You then be sure to add in only the functionality that you need. If you can do the same with your MySQL installation (obviously before your PHP compile), again you can eliminate functionality you don't need as well as add compiler optimizer options per your platform.

Lighttpd, itself, it rather small and quick b default. You can trim quite a few modules out of Apache configs, but it just doesn't quite get there performance-wise.

Obviously, this setup requires quite a bit of understanding of your platform, as well as the needs/relations of the web server, application server (PHP), and MySQL. It is not recommended for the "faint of heart".

Hmm.. Are you on a shared host? I have one on a shared host and at times it gets dog slow. The Dedicated machine will give better perfomance.
