Geek,

You didn't envision people using it with more than 190 replacements? I would expect it to be very common to have more than that once you get rolling with it.

GAL 4 is substantially slower than GAL 3! It's an absolute show stopper. Even a dual Xeon system is brought to it's knees with hundreds of replacements.

In addition to adding extra features, did you mostly switch from simple string replacements to using regular expressions - or is there some other reason that it is substantially slower than the previous version?

Other than turning off the DB Cache and removing some replacements, what else can be done to speed things up?

How do I turn off GAL4 completely (disabled) without un-installing it? I don't see an option in the admin area.

Can replacements be disabled rather than removed?
