4.0.x performance improvement

jdiehl · #21 09-08-2006, 08:54 AM

I was just looking at an installation that it was also missing in, it was 4.0.8 So i don't think it was in there for all versions of 4.0.x

I just checked the upgrade packages and it was added in 4.0.14, removed in 4.1.

Two I'm working on. One turns out its another rewrite in 4.1 but looks like it affects 4.0 at least back to 4.0.12. Has to do with $lng variables in templates. God that whole mess is ugly and boy did they do it bad in 4.0. 4.1 is even uglier but I think they fixed the performance end of it. I was going to try to retrofit it from 4.1 but its too nasty so I have a simplified version in the works. Iits horrible the price we pay for multilingual capabilities on a single language site. The second will speed up the product page if you use variants. The more variants the more improvement. Seems X-Cart asks for the tax rate for each variant - but the tax rate is only dependent on the product. So it goes through a ton of work for every variant when it only needs to do it once. They tried to cache some of that work but they screwed it up and it only works for logged in users. And they didn't cache the results at a higher level routine so it doesn't have that much affect. This one will apply to both 4.0 and 4.1. Stay tuned. I'll post these later this week or next week.

yes, a great increase on some sites.

Be good to get an official response from xcart on this one

Its about time they realeased a patch that maybe added a few indexes to the database and gave simple fixes to speed issues that they discovered while coding 4.1

considering that the bulk of users are using 4.0.x branch these days theres a lot of stores out there that could benefit

4.0 = a turtle with a massive product database. If it wasn't for the html catalog, 4.0 would almost be useless.

I'm curious to see how 4.1 can handle large amounts of data, has anyone loaded it up with a live, semi-high traffic store with 4.1 yet?

Will this fix work on version 4.0.6 or will it cause problems?
