I would like to know, if there are any tips on how to make twiki faster.

I was looking at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/CacheAddOn but i dont quite like its Disadvantages, so i am looking for something else if it is possible. Thanks

Discussion and Answer

Performance depends on your environment

• Do you have a high load due to many concurrent users? Use load balancing.
• Do you have an older hardware? Add more memory, or use faster processor.
• Do you use SPARC? x86 performs much better in a CGI environment.
• Do you run on Windows server? (L)AMP performs better on Linux.
• Do you have slow %SEARCHes in some pages? Use the VarCachePlugin.
• Do you integrate with LDAP? The LDAP query could be the bottleneck.
