Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Howto optimize phpgw for speed

[Dan Kuykendall]

phpGW is not the speediest app it can be. Many have offered suggestions 
on what can be done to help in various config settings (I hope we 
remember to collect these for our FAQ). I just want to also point out 
that performance is a major focus of the next version. In some things we 
may not be able to fix the performance issues, and may even make parts 
slower. But overall performance is a major concern to us and is 
something we are going to work hard to fix. One of the solutions is the 
new XSLT based templating system. XSLT has a chance to make major 
performance improvements because the rendering is now done in PHP's C 
code and not with a series of regular expressions. We also have the 
ability to offload rendering to the browser and spare the server this 
processing load. This can be done with users that have very current 
browsers like IE6 and Mozilla 1.2. Both these browsers have good XSLT 
engines built into them. So we simply send them the data as XML and 
point to the XSL location. The browser will then go get the xsl file(s) 
and render the page... taking all of this load from the server.

This is only one of the ways we will be working to improve performance, 
but I think it examples that we are looking outside of the box and into 
various new techniques to solve our issues.
