Magento

Hi all,

I was so happy to have seen the new release from magento that for 2 days I was completely blind to the fact that dataflow import has a pretty poor performance now in this new version. Tested with old version and observed Mage_Catalog_Model_Convert_Adapter_Product->saveRow() method

In v1.0 - the line
$product->save();
used to take 2 sec for one record to be uploaded.

Now on the new release 1.0.19700, this same line takes a whole 5 seconds!!!!!!

Am planning to upload all products using v1.0 as this new version seems to be having something wrong on the dataflow :(

has anyone else tested dataflow on the new version?

tried another installation and the results were same :(

I have noticed the following issues:

1) The “/” bug does not appear to be fixed
2) I just attempted to import 1200 products that imported fine with 1.0 and the import froze around number 500

wonder if some fix for another issue inadvertently brought in this performance constraint..

imported 900 products at a stretch on a 512 MB RAM dedicated server ...on an average about 6 records were imported in 60 seconds time!!! the $product->save takes the most time in the process ...
