Deprecated - Performance and scalability

Here is a project that might be useful.

Hello!

1) I want to suggest to make index in table locales_source on column source. In my environment it speeds load time 45x

2) I want to ask, whether it is possible to reduce queries to db with locale module. On some pages I have almost 800 queries.

I don't know if this is the right place for this post, but I didn't find locale module between issues.

Currently was thinking of making some kind of friendly URLs for files, e.g. system/files?file=drupal.txt to file/<node-id-or-node-short-user-friendly-title>/drupal.txt.

Q1: Is this might be more search friendly?
Q2: Is it performance matter to create new folder with files for each node?
Q3: If I will have 1000s of files (crucial for FAT32 at least) in one ¨files/¨ directory. Does Drupal optimizes such a thing, e.g. splits that directory to several?

If you want to wring every bit of performance out of your Drupal site, you will appreciate CSS Tweak:

Upload your CSS files and it will make them more efficient and smaller by using shorthand notation, stripping whitespace and stripping comments. The resulting file is smaller and saves you bandwidth and transfer time.

Hi,

Running Drupal for a new site, I notice for quite a while now that it takes ages to save settings. This can last up to about 30 seconds... Such a delay does not happen when I'm saving nodes and things.

At another site I created with Drupal (version 4.6 too) I've checked the saving time for settings as well, but there everything's fine.

Does anyone have an idea where I should start looking?

Thanks!
Marc

I'm trying to decide which site statistics software(including Drupal modules) to choose.

Question 1: Does site statistics software use server resources when a user visits a page?

I have 3 options immediately available to me through my shared hosting:

Webalizer
Modlogan
AWStats

and there are several drupal modules that offer statistics related functionality.

Question 2: Are there any features that distinquish Drupal modules from non-Drupal statistic software?

Thanks!
