<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have found a performance problem with the OpenCms WorkPlace. Every time the class CmsXmlWpTemplateFile is created, it creates a new instance of CmsXmlLanguageFile. On creation CmsXmlLanguageFile, parses the appropriate language file for the current user. Parsing the language file is a slow process, it takes about 1.5 seconds. An instance of CmsXmlWpTemplateFile is created for each request to the CMS, even if the request is for an image. This drastically reduces the performance of the CMS. A temporary fixed is shown in the code below. This code will fix the language used by WorkPlace to the default language (German). If you wish to use English, you will need to change the default language to English.</FONT></P>
