This is actually untrue. FarCry is a very high performance solution that runs on some very large installations. The vast majority of Daemon clients are large companies or institutions that require enterprise level results. For example, FarCry 4.0.x drives the mayoclinic.com which manages almost 2 million page impressions daily. On slower systems you will encounter the following bottlenecks: - compilation; if you run the app for the first time there are a lot of classes that need to be compiled - application initialisation; when you re-start the application it will build and cache all its metadata in memory -- this is very resource intensive - memory footprint; by default FarCry caches whatever it can in memory (memory is cheap -- normally) -- if your CF memory allocation is breached or you start pushing physical memory for your environment you will see a massive drop in performance. You can modify the caching behaviour to suit your environment. The fact that FarCry is designed to take advantage of environments with larger memory resources is a specific design feature for high volume deployments. Your reference to frameworks like Transfer and ColdSpring is not relevant. Neither or these code bases ships with a sample solution anywhere near the size or complexity of FarCry CMS. They are just shells in which you would build a solution. If they did you would likely see similar issues with your PIII/512RAM. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
