Usually when working with clients the distinction I prefer between
virtual/variant and configurable products is that with virtual/variant
products they exist in advance and need to be inventoried, and with
configurable products they will be built-to-order from a common set of
parts that are in inventory.
As for this scale, who knows... this sounds like a case where a
profiling tool or some manual timing code here and there to determine
the main performance problem is needed.

1200 variants of a single product? Are there dependencies within the

Subject: 1200 variants with 6 feature types
I have a customer with a rather large number of selectable variants.
To show the product in ecommerce with the selectable options takes
very
long.
My question is : is the system not designed for these large number of
variants or could it be something else is wrong?
I checked the cache and it seems to be working fine.....
