2 x Editors = Massive Slowdown
Permalink
We are trying to get a new site operational fairly quickly but have found that if two people are logged into the site as editors (working on different sections of the site) at the same time the whole system slows down dramatically. It has no impact on normal website access as this seems to be OK for outside browsing of the site (even while we are editing) but is only apparent to the editors.
Is there something I should be looking at in terms of the MySQL access or some other aspect of C5 that I need to alter.
It does not seem to matter whether they are both logged into the site at the same location or different locations the whole process slows by a factor of about 10.
This is quite frustrating for all of the editors.

Does this happen on every different page they are editing or on a few specific ones?
It happens on all activities, including browsing the site as an editor. If the editor logs out the browsing speed increases, if they log back in when someone else is editing it slows down again. Most site activities in edit mode take up to a minute to occur but are quick if only one person is logged in as editor.

Could you try logging in two different browsers as the same user as opposed to different users? Also, are there pages that are left in "edit mode" meaning they after editing the page they always click "Exit Edit Mode". How may pages approx does your site have?
Do you have anything that is custom coded that might be timing out because of some logic that does not account for two users to be in edit mode? I can't really see a scenario where this would apply but I figure I would suggest it.
Sometimes long waits can be do to php "curl" requests that pull data from other sites that are not responding and timing out or just taking a long time. Is there anything on your site that accesses another site, blog or rss feed to pull information?
Sorry I can't be more specific. Just trying to give some ideas.

One common factor I have noticed is that the sites seem slower when they use the eCommerce add-on. I have three e-Commerce sites we are working on at present and they seem to be worse than sites without e-Commerce. Two of the sites have at least 300 products and obviously a large number of pages.
I have tried different browsers as we use Chrome, IE9 and Firefox but there does not seem to be any difference.
The two different server setups are both WampServer2.1e-x32. I have APC turned on on both. One e-Commerce site is in development status and caching is turned off and the other is live with caching turned on.
My non-e-Commerce sites seem OK and do not appear to suffer from the slowness of the e-Commerce ones.
I am guessing that the slowdown is due to MySQL data access but I cannot be sure. One of the e-Commerce sites pulls in Google fonts but I am working on that one to localise the fonts onto the server. The other has no external links on the site at all.
Any advice on where to look for this problem as I feel it is hampering our efforts to grow e-Commerce C5 sites.
