Important Slowness in Kunena due to Many Categories

I've boughten this subject up a while back, but figured it's better for me not to hijack other people's threads and start my own. I'm still having the slowness issue due to the many categories, and it looks like I'm not the only one who has this issue:
www.joomlapolis.com/forum (Community Builder Forums)
Ok so our forums are not that slow, but when you view a thread it loads in 0.57 seconds as seen here:
www.joomlapolis.com/forum/146-cb-131-gen...with-date-validation
which is faster than the index. :huh:

While the category index takes 3.18 seconds, yet the kunena index seems to load faster by 6 times the speed even though they have almost the same number of categories (well thats a guess by looking at the higher numbered id's). Is this a result of text loading on the page? (The amount of text on the page loading) But then again I observed the scroll bar size of both my site and kunena's forum and the kunena scroll bar is smaller which is a sign of more text in the page. My site forum index loads in 2.33 seconds while kunena's in 0.61 seconds. Perhaps I'm over thinking some of this stuff, but I do want my site as good as possible.

Also I still have not figured out a solution for the simpler forum url to work without having it take 10 or so seconds.

i got it too. i was going to create new topic about this.

go to kunena backend > settings > site and say no to "show new messages" - it almost kill my server. page was loading about 10-12 secs. after disable this, forum is loading in 0.4 secs.

I need "show new messages" function. Without that users cannot see when new post is on forum (no icons change or "1new" text), but it very slows my forum.

I have VPS with eaccelerator, that can handle about few thousands users online, wihtout any slowing down, but that function can kill my VPS. I'm thinking about instaling memcache and using something like querry cache. maybe it solve that performance problem

without "show new messages" - 30 logged, 500 guests - Server load - 0,2-0,4
with "show new messages" - 30 logged, 500 guests - Server load - 12-18

would be interesting to hear fxstein's comments

Yes, I would like to see fxstein's comments, too He's currently "on the road" at the moment and so we may have to wait. In the meantime, I collected a few of his words of wisdom in my response to a similar subject K 1.6 page load .

I also have an anecdotal story about some of these "accelerator" tools. A little while ago fxstein implemented one of those "accelerators"/optimiser/obfuscation products at www.kunena.com and the experiment lasted little more than 2 weeks before we had to remove the software because of utility problems with one or two key software components - not Kunena, by the way!

I never had similar problem with kunena.
@postmanpl Kunena not support any Cache yet
Kunena 2.0 will support Cache and will be more than 10 time faster , Full MVC etc etc

Wait, am I supposed to have my cache enabled? :huh:
