Looks like I need a better server.

have you enabled Memcache support?
In config.php

define('USE_MEMCACHE_DATA_CACHE', true);

you will need to be sure your server is configured for this.
Hands-On took care of this for me.

Just enabled it to see if there is a difference. I think I have it on my server.

well that gave a slower result:

Have turned it back off. I think I have APC cache on which would overwrite memcache.

carpeperdiem, I'm just going through your invaluable steps in post #57 and I'm puzzled that in step 1 you assign AltImagesDir and AltSkinDir yet I can't see them being used anywhere.
In step 1 are you simply overwritting their assignment, made elsewhere, and they are used in files that don't need editing?

if https is NOT on, then use the CDN
if https is on, use the default xcart server

I got this code from maxcdn support
it works for me

I'm asking specifically about these two lines:

PHP Code:

$smarty->assign("AltImagesDir",    "http://cdn.domain.com/skin/books_and_magazines/images"); 
$smarty->assign("AltSkinDir",    "http://cdn.domain.com/skin/books_and_magazines"); 


AltImagesDir and AltSkinDir were not present before the edit (unlike ImagesDir and SkinDir), so if they are new where are they being used? I'm guessing they are in fact used for your chosen skin, but that would mean the assignment exists elsewhere since it did not reside in smarty.php - in which case don't we need to delete the original assignment?

If I were using an XCart template then I would simply trust your post and include the code verbatim, but I'm using thexcartstore's xtreme_gear template and I've yet to workout how to include their template resources on CDN. It's complicated more because I have a different template for mobiles - so I'm not sure what to put for AltImagesDir and AltSkinDir.
