Has anyone noticed that Magento may run slowly for several hours after importing products? I have not verified this is when I have speed issues, but I feel like after I do an import of a larger number of products (say 1000+) Magento runs slowly for the next several hours.
Is it possible that Magento is still processing data or running processes after the import has completed? Perhaps it is building a database for the search function?
I am running Magento on a dedicated server with 2 gigs of ram.
If you have NOT noticed this and are reading this post, please reply and let me know.
I just wanted to update this post --- we made some of the changes recommended in the blog post regarding performance. The difference has been AMAZING --- I recommend making those changes—our website is more than twice as fast now.
can you give us some numbers like seconds for severals actions?
we have major speed issues - load of categorie takes bout 3 secs (this bout 2.5 secs to long for a onlineshop), bout 5 to 6 secs for detailview of a product (bout 4 to 5 secs to long) and adding stuff to cart up to 25secs and 15secs per step in the onepage checkout - thats way too long…
we have hardware which should be able to handle that stuff and have the cache loaded into ram and some stuff like that, optimized mysql server - and the page loads take way too much time…
makes me frustraded while developing and i think our customers while shopping…
If it’s verifiably and consistently running slower for a period of time immediately following a product import, my guess would be this is due to Magento & your database (depending on your database settings) not yet having cached all the new products and/or selection queries, and the speed increases as more get cached.
Catagories 2 seconds
3-6 seconds to sort using layered navigaiton
This is running on a dedicated server—Dual Xeon (2 x 2.4 Ghz), 2 GB RAM
I know this is not by any means wonderful, but believe it or not—it was much worse. By making the changes in the blog we have gone from a site I considered to be unusable to usable. As our database has grown (we now have 15,000 products) I have noticed some more slow down. I have made all of the changes suggested in the blog post on performance except the using “a memory-based filesystem for Magento’s var directory”

Do you remember what blog post you read? I would like to see what the recommended changes are.
