[thelist] magento / performance / amazon?

[Renoir B.]

I doubt that you need bigger hosting for a e-commerce site.

Unless your site has to provide heavy traffic non stop.

It is most likely something somewhere down the execution that requires to
be looked at, slowing factors are (as I recall):

   1. web service/database queries/files access across network ...
   packetloss
   2. database queries with missing indexes
   3. no caching at all (config, pre-generated html partials, whatever that
   can be pre-compiled and served)
   4. no memcached/keystore service
   5. no http caching

So. If you are trying to transform a lion into a droid. You may have to Put
a lot of metal patches.

Or start with something closer to a droid :)

Seriously enough.

My professionnal recommendation would be to work with each proposal from
5..1

Hope this helps.
