I have a noticeable performance hit with with a lot of product
variations. I am working on an auto parts store:  Using a wheel for an
example:

Each wheel has the following variations:

Roughly twenty sizes: 17X7, 17X10 .... to 22X10
Four finishes: polished, chrome, clear coat, painted
Six Accessories: Spanner Nut, Hex Nut, Crescent Nut....

Creating three wheels generates about 1000 product variations.

A wheel product takes a lot longer to load than a product with only a
couple, or no, variations. On the public facing site.

Any suggestions for handling performance in this context?

As for the admin. The product variations manager causes a 504 on my
production server when generating that many products.

I am going with the tier three plan at webfaction.

Disk Space 40GB
Bandwidth (per month) 1800GB
Application memory 160MB (equivalent to 260MB VPS memory)

That works well on everything that doesn't deal with many product
variations.

Also in admin the inventory manager is unusable with that many
variations, as it loads everything, no paging. But I can tweak that
easily.

Help
Thanks, Matt
