I'm sorry to bump this thread, but it was the logical place to put this question.
Originally our site was slow, (Even when there was no data on it, and a blank template.)
Once I'd custimized and imported our data I found that the site was still very slow. 10 to 15 seconds sometimes just to flick to different catagories.
I've followed all the recomendations here from the the site below for speeding up X-Cart. All except this one.

If you have say a DB of 3000-4000 products, what kind of impact speed wise can such a script have?
I've followed the instructions and recommendations as mentioned in the thread. I'd prefer to manually do this, and I have been from the absolute path. It appears to be working, but other then a blank page how do I know it's doing anything at all? How long should it take?
