modx limitations?

Hello,

Could someone tell me where I could find MODx’s limitations as far as how many individual documents it can hold, how many users it can have registered and is there a limit to how much information can be held per page?

I know a lot of the data is help is databases but I’m sure I read somewhere there are limitations... Thanks!

What I’ve read is that there are no "specific" limitations, but as far as documents go you should aim to keep it under 5000. However, the new core is capable of handling much more. I read into this for the project I’m working on now. It’s not even launched and has over 850 pages. It will eventually slow down, but by the time they get to 5000 hopefully they’ll be on the new core.

Yeah I read that too but it was a long time ago and wasn’t sure if it was still valid for 0.96. My personal web design page has about 80 docs but with testing of a auto generation snippet the doc ID is up at about 300 now.

Since the information is stored on databases, is there a reason that MODx actually slows down? I’m no expert so all I can think is how MODx handles the information?

I have tried 097 and I like the new manager but just waiting on snippets etc to become compatible first....

The bottleneck is not the DB/MySQL but the cache mechanism, as explained here :

Thanks for the link David.

I knew I had some questions... I’ll go post there.
