Hello, I wanted to post some observations on my usage of ZF, fairly random:
Grid I had to deploy a ZF based site on an MT Grid package. The performance was very sporadic - page serves anything from 8s - 25s on a bad day. Grid is a terrible hosting environment, so I'm not for a second saying the issue is with ZF, but I believe due to the architecture of that env - it's a 'cloud' of computers doing the processing and requesting files/dbs from somewhere else - all the require()s in ZF had the effect of slowing things down (more than usual). So eventually the package was upgraded (at cost and inconvenience) to MT Dedicated Virtual and since then no problems, and can use APC too. So as it stands, I don't believe ZF (and probably any other framework) can be used reliably on MT Grid hosting. And I was fobbed off with the usual "It's your HTML" responses from support staff. Mac Bootcamp I use a Mac to work on, I have Bootcamp installed to run WinXP too. I have all of my files on the Mac HTFS+ partition, and use MacDrive software to access them from WinXP. I believe the HD format translation MacDrive uses is quite slow, meaning the disc reading is slow. This had the effect of when testing a ZF based site on localhost, it taking ~5s to serve a page! Once again probably due to all the require()s. In both cases the problem lies not with ZF so much, but it does highlight how much file access is going on. None of this has put me off using ZF though :-) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Notes-on-deploying-ZF-on-MT-Grid-Server---Mac-Bootcamp-tp20302053p20302053.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
