bitweaver Performance Tips

Bitweaver Optimisation

• every directory is scanned on every page load. even though the overhead is not large, we recommend that you remove all unused packages from your server. you can add them back at a later time point if you need them later on.
• Beginning with version 2, we have global liberty caching for any parsed content. this will dramatically reduce loading time and load on the server for such content. The setting can be found in the Aministration --> Liberty --> Liberty Settings page

PHP Optimisation

• Use Fast Coding Habits
• Allocate a large chunk of memory to php in your php.ini file
• Install ImageMagick's Magickwand for better image handling
• Install pecl fileinfo for better type checking on file uploads
• Install an Accelerator
  • Installation of a PHP opcode caching mechanism like php-eaccelerator ( which is a maintained version of turck-mmcache ) will dratically reduce PHP memory usage and improve execution time. It is available as a yum installable Fedora extra rpm.
