Hallo Martin, Thank you for your constructive input! SQL seems not to be the problem, because pages that don't require any SQL query run as slow as pages that require some. (Also the amount of affected rows is often not more than just a couple of)
Following your advice I did 'benchmark' the application and found out a really 'strange' thing ... In /cake/libs/configure.php on line 929 there is the following code- line ...(called during bootstrap) // Measurement point added by me ... [folder_before] $directories = $Folder->tree($path, false, 'dir'); // Measurement point added by me ... [folder_after] At the last iteration it takes up about 1.5 - 2 seconds in average to parse(!) (which is approximately 50%-60% of the whole processing time!!) (all iterations before take up only about 10ms) (the complete processing time was about 3.2 seconds) The $path variable helds the value of CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH/cake in the last iteration [folder_before] => 1229554489.78 [folder_after ([...]/_cake1.2rc3/cake)] => 1229554491.24 On my webhost PHP Safe mode is activated. Could this cause any issues on folder access times? Maybe one who is more familiar with the core of the framework could tell why the LAST iteration (containing the path to /CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH/cake) takes up that long? So I think if that issue could be resolved processing times would decrease to about 1 - 2 seconds which would be as nearly as fast as the (old) plain PHP site. Thank you all for helping me with that issue :) Bernhard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
