Medieval Programming » Blog Archive » Better Performance patch for Symfony 1.0.x and Propel 1.2
by Xavier LacotI found the sfBuilders that are responsible for stripping the comments from the generated propel classes and also saw that there is a addIncludes parameter in propel.ini. Lets reuse that and modify the Builders to strip the inline includes and requires.
I admit this is a tiny step, but some propel users are desperately searching for performance tweaks (as I am as well) so I hope this could be of use. I send this patch for inclusion in symfony 1.1.

Tuning LAMP systems, Part 2: Optimizing Apache and PHP
by camel Applications using the LAMP (Linux®, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl) architecture are constantly being developed and deployed. But often the server administrator has little control over the application itself because it's written by someone else. This series of three articles discusses many of the server configuration items that can make or break an application's performance. This second article focuses on steps you can take to optimize Apache and PHP.
Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (or Perl) form the basis of the LAMP architecture for Web applications. Many open source packages based on LAMP components are available to solve a variety of problems. As the load on an application increases, the bottlenecks in the underlying infrastructure become more apparent in the form of slow response to user requests.

Race Conditions with Ajax and PHP Sessions
by dzc & 3 others (via)Problèmes de sessions concurentes avec Ajax -
Avec Ajax et les sessions, le nombre de requêtes envoyées par un navigateur sur un serveur augmente significativement. Si les réponses sur le serveur sont trop lentes, elles vont s'empiler. De plus, si l'application utilise les sessions PHP, il faudra qu'elles s'attendent les unes les autres avant d'être exécuté. Au final, cela peut perturber considérablement l'application. thwartedefforts détaille le problème.
