<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=349282517-09082000>there
have been some questions about performance issues of OpenCms, especially with
the Workplace (administration pages). Facts are: OpenCms uses a caching
mechanism for all generated output pages. Therefore, the performance for the
end-user website is ok. However, since the Worplace HTML is highly dynamic in
nature (with filelists and all), caching here is almost impossible. So solve
this problem, we are currently evaluating strategies to improve performance
using other methods than caching. As soon as we have a complete first draft of
our ideas, I will post them here for further discussion. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=349282517-09082000>We are
currently working on a easy-to-use programmer documentation (like the enduser
documentation we already have published), where the basics of OpenCms
programming are explained. This will be available end of August. We will start
with the performance project after the documentation project has been finished.

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=349282517-09082000>End of
August there will also be an updated OpenCms website and a better demo system
for download with the distribution.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

meantime, other project teams are working on multilanguage/multisite management
and a better to use module system to extend the Workplace. These projects will
likley be finished somewhere in September. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=122344902-10082000>The
administration of OpenCMS is very slow. I asked this question a month ago.
Someone answered: "buy a 1 GHz Firebird and your problems will disappear". It
probably has nothing to do with your configuration</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to run opencms in apache's tomcat
servlet runner on RedHat 6.2. It runns OK when viewing the examples but is
extremely slow when administrating the site. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Opencms run OK when running in tomcat on windows,
although it is still quite slow while administrating the site.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this possbily because tomcat uses a latter
version of the servlet API than JServ.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have also tried to run opencms under Allaire's
JRun on linux. Administrating the site is extremely slow. There appears to
be threading problems in opencms running on liunx with the latest version of
the srevlet API. I am using version 4.0.30 of opencms</FONT></P>
