Hi,

I´m tryng to optimize the behaviour of our site (EE 2.1.3)

and I was wondering regardless “comfort” in editing templates, if using flat templates rather than database queries would help to improve our database server performance.

Thanks,
Gabriel

Quote: “...saving templates as files can marginally increase disk i/o as each template must be retrieved from disk in addition to the standard database query responsible for managing your template’s meta data (access, PHP parsing, template type, etc.).”

There’s a good presentation here on EE performance by Ruthie Bendor:

http://www.slideshare.net/unruthless/make-your-site-speedy - page 16 for tips specifically related to your question.

I see… some slides from the presentation really helps!

Thanks Will
