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?

Skateboards.com has quite a bit of traffic and we have about 20k SKU's online at any given time. I had to set up a dedicate physical server for the front-end and one for the backend. Before I tried it with the db/frontend sharing the server and the site was almost unusable if anything has to query the db.

This seems to work great. Can you tell me, does it overlap in anyway with the following suggestion from websitecm -- or is it totally unrelated? Many thanks, Drew Oliver

"Smarty provides a method to increase speed by caching the templates so they do not need to be recompiled. This should NOT be used when you are making changes to your site templates, as no template changes will be recognized while the check is disabled. So if making changes, you will need to ensure this variable is set to "true."

You can enable template caching by opening the file "Smarty.class.php" in your smarty directory and editing this variable to "false":

/**
* This tells Smarty whether to check for recompiling or not. Recompiling
* does not need to happen unless a template or config file is changed.
* Typically you enable this during development, and disable for
* production.
*
* @var boolean
*/
var $compile_check = true;
