...on a shared hosting account which is advertised as an "Exponential Hosting" account?
With all caches on, I get a total script running time of about 0,4 to 0,6 (in some cases 1,75) secs for the "plain_user" demo with every feature enabled. Is this okay or do I have to complain?
Regards,
Sebastian

If the host doesnt use a PHP accelerator (which IMHO it should for an Exponential hosting deal but maybe that's just my opinion), that sounds about right. It's otherwise not all too bad either, I get about 0.2s on a dedicated box used only by myself and your box surely will be shared.

Hi Gabriel!
Thanks for your information!
This is without a PHP-Accelerator as the hosting company runs PHP in CGI-Mode (very strange...). But 5 bucks for 12Gigs of eZp-driven Webspace is still a great deal though... :-)

CGI mode helps with security if done right. And for that, 0.5s is actually fast ;)

As Gabriel said - you should be very happy with 0,5 sec. I also had some sites running on shared servers, just as you. But I NEVER got under 1,5 sec loadtime. But if they advertise as "ez hosts" they really should be using a accelerator ... my opinion anyway :)
Im now running a dedicated server with php-accelerator...
AMD Sempron(tm) 2400+ (686-class CPU) 1666.49- MHz RAM: 239,94 MB
... loadtime is 0,14sec - and I pay 29 bucks a month :D

I could, but that would surely against the forum rules. But to tell you in advance: The are running <b>CGI</b> mode which requires some tweaking of Exponential to get all features up and running. e.g. the WebDAV-Server doesn't work in standard CGI setups.
