Agreed! Let’s make it better.

Server performances are very important because a lot of people are using shared hosting for their blogs, and each new WP requires more resources on the server side. And to a point I agree to trade off performance for better and more functional interface, and WP 2.8 is great in that area, but use of memory and time needed to preprare page with it is a big problem. I have been playing with 2.8.1 beta and it’s definitly faster.

As I have announced I will do a browser tests also, because all that is needed to get more objective picture. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE WP, and I will not going to change it for anything else, and these tests and many more to follow will hopefully help making WP even better.

Server generation time doesn’t matter that much, 95% of render time is on the client-side, which is the opposite of your claim that browsers are fast enough these days to handle anything. Here’s some great information on front-end performance:

That was the focus of the 2.8 release.

That said, we’re always trying to make things faster and better as shown in the improvements in 2.8.1. If you have any suggestions for things we could make better or optimize, please let the team know!

Gears is not working with Firefox 3.5 on Windows. Not sure who’s fault it is, Mozilla (most likely) or Google.

Gears is not an option for Opera or Safari users (hopefully we will see better Gears browser support soon)

Gears is available for Safari 3.1.1 and above on Mac. Gears currently only supports Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows.Gears features utilized by Turbo would now use HTML5 offline if rewritten today.

At least you thought about it

So on the dashboard page there’s some speed to improve for the WP guys.

I could ask for lots of things but I won’t. You probably have had lots of thoughts about it.

Anyway nice to have read your facts and keep up the good work!

I’ll follow closely this thread, thanks for all the work and time you spend

Getting CPU measurement is complicated, and I will need much more time to setup burn test, and I really don’t have that much free time for somthing complicated like that.

As for the dashboard widgets, all widgets are loaded always even if they are hidden, they are still part of the page. So one or ten widgets on dashboard makes no difference.

I also suspect that only on admin interface WP 2.8.1 is slower than 2.7.1, but let’s wait to see.

For reasons I prefer to wait voor final releases as well.

Nice to see the results, I’m impressed with the speed you created all tests.

Sorry but can only talk about 2.7.1 en 2.8 (yes ok, I’m at the stage of experienced beginner of WP). I noticed 2.8 when only using WP’s web interface it’s a bit slower then 2.7.1.

What I do miss in above results: the CPU load for the different versions.

In the dashboard, how about iconizing some items, so they will not be loaded. How will the performance improve for the dashboard? Or not?

I will wait for 2.8.1 final to be released. WP 2.8 also should be using less memory, but that turned out differently. So, better wait for final.

Have you also tried WP 2.8.1 beta 2
(changelog; Dashboard memory usage is reduced. Some people were running out of memory when loading the dashboard, resulting in an incomplete page. )
