Hi



I am currently on cs-cart 2.1.1 and it has some difficulties with heavy use of filters and js queries



So, can current version of cs-cart handle heavy use of filters as I am thinking of upgrading?



Thanks

I believe you will find that the performance of the cart with heavy use of filters and/or features is more a function of what backend_cache method you are using in config.local.php and what the underlying server's capabilities are.

Hi



I am using file cache



I have a problem with the load on my server crashing everything every now and then



What is an ideal server setup that you would recommend for a filter heavy site?



Thanks

I would use sqlite for the backend_cache method in config.local.php, not 'files'.

Then I'd watch memory usage and ensure that you don't run out of memory when looking at results of large filters or big feature comparisons.
