Does anyone have any quick tips or tricks to improve page load speed of vB5? I'm working on my playground installation right now, and it's just unbearably slow.

The sad thing is, I actually really like a lot of the other features. But I will not even consider making this live when page loads are 5+ seconds. vB4 loads in less than 1 second.

On vB.com, they say that slowness is a "known issue" and they're working on it. But then why was it released for $249 with this debilitating problem?

Thanks

We have it running in production and its very fast; granted the size of our user base is small. www.diecastmodelaircraft.com

What we have done:

xcache - using that for PHP caching and we have turned on vb variable caching via xcache as well.

No-Cache - in vb settings, make sure "Add No-Cache HTTP Headers" is set to no

Gzip- Ensured gzip compression was on in both vb and for our server.

Mysql - We tuned our mysql system over the past few years. use mysqltuner.pl to assist.

Mod_pagespeed - Experimenting with Googles' mod_pagespeed - turned off right now; but will try this again.

Oh that is fast! Thank you so much - I will start tweaking with some of these settings

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
