QUESTION Max number of pages?

40,000 pages was too much .. lol  server went to 504 service not available
at less than 21000 pages it works, page serving response is actually pretty fast,
less than a second for a known page address. But the admin panel ,, woof ,,
over a minute to complete the load.

40000 pages ... really ?

Nobody will take you serious using an xml database for that amount of pages.
Do a reality check and stay in tune with the real world out there.

There is a difference between a database where xml is used as data transfer,
and a database where mysql is used as data storage management !

And above a certain amount of pages, even the use of mysql will not be enough,
you also need a backend that can handle the administration.

==========================================================

The main reason why the Get-Simple CMS delivers such fast page load speeds is because
it uses a xml database and not a mysql database.
Under a certain amount of pages, xml performs much faster than mysql.
But of course, above a certain amount of pages,
xml will start to slow down because of read latency.
XML is more a data transfer technology and not a data storage technology.
MySQL performs much better for a large application or large dataset.

1)
The GS xml database and backend handles 1000 pages very fast
as I showed in my 1000 pages test case.

2)
When was the last time you had a project for a client with more than 1000 pages ?

3)
Living and working in the real world
I learned when to say Yes, and when to say No to a project. Personally I say No to a Client
with a project more than hundred pages, for good reasons.
