So I've been playing with Magento ... doing some basic enough templating ... playing with its CMS and so on ... and I will still say I'm in love with it.
My problem.
****** its slow
I've no idea about a dedicated server with plenty of umpf ... but I seriously doubt it' run nicely on shared hosting or it'd definitely be a cause for violation of TOS. Its got pretty hefty requirements and I've heard people talking about having it running with dual quad core machines.
For the moment the shop I'm running is small enough and it can take the hit on speed. Load times are pretty slow I'm going to work on adding in APC and hopefully that'll give a slight performance boost. Even with caching enabled the thing is a beast. But its a damn damn nice beast.
How are others that are using it finding it ? I've heard people talking about dual quad core machines to run it. Apparently optimization is going to be the last thing that gets worked on. This does not bode well for adoption of the product. I've seen example sites people have up and running and my god they are running even slower than mine.
I didn't really want to add this to the other thread on Magento as its quite old and this is more related to performance now. (though if its felt it I'll merge it with the other thread)
