Why sometimes is SCMS3 so slow
1. Generally
Some users mentioned that SCMS3 is so slow. Means reading of directories and opening files in MultiTextEditor takes to much time. We spend a lot of time to invastigate this issue.
The reason is simple: some providers runs php as cgi and not as module. This has advantages for the provider but not for the user because php as cgi is slowly - for every request apache must reload the php process.
2. MultiTextEditor
The MultiTextEditor is a very complex application. Commonly you shouldn't notice a performance problem. On older machines or on apple machines it is possible that the reaction of the flash plugin on keystrokes is a little bit slower.
We work permanently on optimizing the code. We test the application on older machines and on an old apple (OS 10.4) machine too. Please stay tuned for updates.
