Hi Paul, it's Paul ;-)

I don't understand what you mean here:

Do you mean you have 4.7s response time on 3.2 and now have <1sec on 3.6
? I can't figure why you get a so big boost, I must have misunderstood
something !

Bonjour cher homonyme,

It also involved a change in server, but other usage did not show anywhere near the same gain e.g. a mysql based ap to dynamically list our "used books for sale" from a static webpage went from 0.8 to 0.6 secs. There could be some latency issues here, but I have tried to sort out why Koha improved so much, and while this is not definitive, here are some areas that we noted:

- memcached appears to *not* have worked -- or at least not properly -- on 3.2. I think this was a serious issue for zebra
        - I installed Apache as worker + fastcgi rather than prefork
- we use a few custom modules (barcode and call number in particular). For 3.2, we had used them as a subroutine of the standard Koha code -- now I have written them as standalone replacements.

Additionally, we have noticed that the "old" 3.2 which we still use as a sandbox and for training purposes, is getting slower and slower. I am *guessing* that it's crud in the mysql which seems to retain a lot of "history" and/or I did not do a clean install after removing wine (a keen volunteer had installed that so as to be able to use MarcEdit which still didn't work), but have not yet had time to look in detail.

But the gain is still very real. Our cataloguers' rate has improved dramatically (in part I am sure the psychological effect of a system that appears much slicker.)

Avec mes meilleurs voeux pour cette nouvelle année,
Paul
