I don't think cms are inherently slow. My own site runs joomla and serendipity and I live on dial-up at home. However, I don't find it painfully slow (a bit slow, but workable). One cheap method for preserving bandwidth is to have mod_deflate (or mod_gzip in apache 1). Another trick is to make your sites mostly-textual. There are sites which can measure the speed of your site and recommend you what to do. Using those sites to actually measure your site's speed will be better instead of dismissing a good system based on a 'hunch'. -- raj shekhar facts: http://rajshekhar.net | opinions: http://rajshekhar.net/blog I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
