[geeklog-devel] Pear DB Overhead

[Tom Willett]

So with the enhancements its only 1/2 speed instead of 1/3 speed?

My concern is that even now people complain about speed.  When they see that 
it takes twice as long to render a page, they will really complain.  Much of 
the speed issue now is because of uneeded and redundant db calls done in the 
name of programming ease.  As I see the design of GL2, this will only get 
worse.  A bunch of independent modules do not tend to share the information 
they pulled from the db.
