Hello world,
recently I did some performance analysis of Drupal and compared it to Joomla.
http://buytaert.net/drupal-vs-joomla-performance
Unfortunately, Drupal is quite slow when it comes to generating non- cached pages. It would be great if we could focus some more on the performance of non-cached pages. Why? Because in practice, it is often a _lot_ more important than the performance of cached pages.
I know there are some patches in the queue, and I know we talked about this a lot in the past. I'll review, test and benchmark some of these patches ASAP. There are also a number of ideas that haven't been implemented/tested yet.
I hope that you will do the same, and that you continue to think (out of the box) with regard to Drupal's performance.
Thanks,
Does anyone have a good profiling tool? That could be very helpful in figuring out where the slow spots are. The only one I know of is Zend Studio, which I use at work but is rather pricy for personal use. :-( (And since my office is not a Drupal shop, they'd probably not let me do any testing there.) --Larry Garfield
