Symphony.

A project of mine is taking very long in the 'Engine Initialisation' step (> 20 sec). I'm trying a method that loads dynamic DSs from other Symphony Pages (basically doing multi-pass processing) and I was wondering if a lag in loading a Dynamic DS would cause engine initialisation to run long, or if it's just PHP getting bogged down in my shared hosting env.

Thanks

The Engine Initialisation has nothing to do with DS's. It it specifically related to loading the core classes and configuration, establishing a DB connection etc. It should take no more than 0.03s or so (at least, that's what it is for our dev server). It is possible the DB connection is causing problems, but other than that, I have no idea. Is there a way to see the load averages for your hosting? It could just be a slow shared environment.

I've run into problems before with db servers that are not on the same box (or localnet) as the web server.

Hi guys, sorry for starting this thread again. I noticed Engine Initialization is taking too long sometimes. What is interesting is that this randomly occurs, sometimes its .05 seconds, other times .5 seconds and other times over 1 or 3 seconds! Can someone please tell me what the cause could be?

Thanks
