Plone 4 is about to
-
enter beta testing prior to a final release
-
performance
-
out of the box
-
over three times faster
-
what does all this mean? Well, honestly, not much
-
realistic sample content
-
very, very proud of Plone’s raw speed
-
suspect MAMP not to be very efficient
-
For read-only operations, once the objects have made it into ZODB’s object cache no database queries need be made
-
the difference is down to Plone’s use of the ZODB
-
Contrast this to the PHP/MySQL systems which must perform several selects in order to render the page
-
to fetch new objects it’s slower
-
ZODB fetches are serial
-
Archetypes persistent object design is far from optimal (page data is split over several persistent objects, slowing down load time)
-
addressed as part of Dexterity
-
fundamental architectural difference
-
CMSes that use the RDBMS and some kind of ORM or manual SQL (like Drupal, Joomla)
-
those that use an OODBMS such as Plone
-
‘out of the box’ speed, since that is something a lot of people historically have not liked about Plone
-
less tuning needed to start with
-
even when caching is not applicable we still get the performance boost
-
our installer sets up ZEO with clients for you, so this is “out-of-the-box”
-
counter the (incorrect) perception out there that “Plone is slow”
