Forums / Cotonti / Support / Tips for better performance with Siena ?

Please edit the post instead of duplicating it.

Siena is slower than Genoa out of the box simply because it has lots more in it. Here is what you should check first of all in config.php:

• $cfg['cache'] = TRUE;
• $cfg['xtpl_cache'] = TRUE;

If you have APC or Xcache or Memcached, you can also try enabling its variable cache:

• $cfg['cache_drv'] = 'Xcache'; // APC or Memcache

Then go to Administration / Configuration.

• In News plugin configuration set Cache TTL to 300 or above.
• In Recent items plugin configuration set Cache TTL to 60 or above.

If it doesn't help, then further SQL query statistics analysis is required.
