Zend Server Lesson 3 - Solving a Performance Problem by Ed Kietlinski
In this Zend Server video lesson, we will be dealing with a performance problem in a Drupal CMS implementation. Performance problems happen in all sorts of scenarios and applications, so Drupal is just an example in this lesson. The problem is that this site is too slow, the pages are taking more than 5 sec to render with only a single user on the site, clearly that's way too slow. We will be using the latest version of Drupal’s free open source software (FOSS) code on the site, and provide tips and tricks for performance diagnosis and tuning.
