New to eZ: some general questions

Johan Van Mol	Friday 06 May 2005 2:25:29 pm I'm considering using eZ publish, I like it a lot at first site, but I have some questions before I decide to use it... 1/PERFORMANCE_ What's up with all the performance issues? When talking about CMS's, eZpublish always get mentioned as one of the best, but its performance is always seen as a disadvantage. Is it really that slow? I only worked with Mambo in the past... Does anyone know how these two compare? Is eZ faster/slower than Mambo? 2/HOSTING_ Can you host an eZ site with any hosting company that supports PHP, MySQL,... Or are there any special requierements? 3/SIZE_ What's the size of a standard eZ install? I checked out my install, and saw that it was over 40MB?!? Huge! I have installed a news site, along with the sample multimedia files (asf, swf, mov,...). I guess this last option produces all those MB's... What's the size of an install without multimedia? Or, even better, what's the size of a small eZ site? I ask this because hosting starts at 50MB, and it would be a shame to use all just on your CMS.

Performance is a price what you pay for flexibility ... Ad. 2 eZ publish requirements http://ez.no/ez_publish/info/requirements_for_ez_publish Hosting partners http://ez.no/partner/partner_list/(partner)/hosting/(sort) Ad. 3 You can reduce eZ publish size to about 10MB, you can delete files which aren`t use by the system on your website. Of course, when you will upload files or images size will be growing. To reduce cache size you can enable TemplateCompression in site.ini file.

You can reduce eZ publish size to about 10MB, you can delete files which aren`t use by the system on your website. Of course, when you will upload files or images size will be growing. To reduce cache size you can enable TemplateCompression in site.ini file.
