EE 1.5 set up on localhost and working great

[Hal Davey]

Pekka; I have the ee 1.5 rc3 running on my localhost for practice and learning and so on, before I upload it to my site. I uploaded 4 pictures for testing and it was taking an average of 13 seconds to load each picture - a long time - Then I read a post in which you said to have 7 or more pix in the db - so I uploaded 5 more - what a difference now, almost instantanious. Thanks for the advice and help.
Cheers

yes hal,

it makes a big difference! also consider to set dummies if you have not enough data, as pekka adviced.
i've done that, and it speeded up EE enormously!

Note about speed

Note about speed: MySQL uses "index system" to accelerate speed and EE uses that system extensively. After new clean install MySQL index system may not be active, so you will need to do one backup and restore in EE Backup make index system active again.

Also, make sure that you have checked these items to gain full speed:

- you have at least 7 photos in EE
- you have more than 5 photographers in database
- you have more than 5 cameras in database
- you have more than 5 lenses in database
- you have more than 5 lights in database
- you have more than 5 categories in database
- you have more than 5 workflows in database
- you have more than 5 paths (size, thumb, microthumb) in database

Those extra items can just be "dummy"ones, no one will see them if they are not used in photos. You may set extra paths' ftp server as OFF to hide them from upload lists.

Reason for these strange instructions is in that "index system" of MySQL. It needs data to be active, if it does not have items in database it will slow down a lot. The more data it has the merrier it is.

And this is not an April fool!
