@@ -38,26 +38,24 @@ A: Smarty and these cache solutions have nothing in common. What APC does is
not.
Q: Is Smarty faster than <insert other PHP template engine>?
A: This would mostly depend on the other template engine, but as a general rule
of thumb: Without a PHP caching solution like APC or Zend Cache, Smarty is
most likely as fast, or possibly slower. With APC, Smarty is mostly like as
fast or much faster. The reason is this: Smarty generates PHP scripts from
your templates. The more templates your application has, the more PHP
scripts Smarty generates. This in turn requires more time for the PHP parser
to compile the PHP scripts. With APC, this compilation step is cached. So as
the complexity of the templates increase, the performance savings go up
accordingly. Also, most other template solutions parse the template files on
each invocation. The more complex the templates are, the longer they take to
parse. Smarty has no need to parse template files, it only executes PHP
scripts. We are working on a release of Smarty that will be noticably
quicker even without the aid of a PHP script caching solution by minimizing
the amount of PHP code that is compiled on each request.
A: It could be. One of the strengths of Smarty is that it does not need to
parse the template files on every hit to the server. Version 1.3.1 has
many noticable performance tune-ups, so your best bet is to try some
benchmarks and compare for yourself.
The above comparison assumes that you are not using Smarty's built-in
ability to cache templates. If you are, that makes this comparison pretty
useless since Smarty will basically be displaying static content instead of
generating templates, which of course will be magnitudes faster.
unfair since Smarty will basically be displaying static content instead of
generating templates, which will speed things up, especially for compilcated
templates.
Q: How can I be sure to get the best performance from Smarty?
A Be sure you set $compile_check=false once your templates are initially
compiled. This will skip the unneeded step of traversing all of your template files on each hit. If you have complex pages that don't change too often,
turn on the caching engine and adjust your application so it doesn't do
unnecessary work (like db calls) if a cached page is available. See the
documentation for examples.
Q: Can I use Macromedia's Dreamweaver to edit my templates?
A: Certainly. You might want to change your tag delimiters from {} to something
that resembles valid HTML, like <!--{ }--> or <{ }> or something similar.
