Perfomance issue

I noticed that I should wait for Discuss pages much longer than Modx pages, so I added some tags to get debug info. Modx pages have total time 0.2-0.3 s (when they came from the cache). Discuss pages have total time 3-4 s, for example:

Total Time [^t^]: 3.4163 s
Query Time [^qt^]: 0.0518 s
Query Count [^q^]: 3,
Parse Time [^p^]: 3.3645 s
Source [^s^]: cache

Why so long? Some time ago I had the same issue on Modx pages - because I had a lot of uncached snippets [[!...]] on page. I removed exclamation marks from wherever I could, and now all works fine and quite fast. But what is wrong with Discuss? Is it a bug? But seems that http://forums.modx.com/ loads not so fast also, but faster than 3 s anyway (considering a lot of topics!). Will it be fixed in Discuss 1.3 if it is bug? Or may be I missed something in my Discuss. Recently I had 1.1.1 and now updated to 1.2.

Hello Alexus!
I am not a developer of Discuss but I have other results. Here is what my tests show.

Forum is almost empty. 1 testing thread with 1 post is created.
Hosting – MODX Cloud (Development cloud)
Discuss version 1.2. (it is important because 1.2 version contains many performance improvements)

Forum Home Page (Source database)

Time: 0.5489 s;
Query Time 0.0007 s;
Query Count: 3;
Parse Time 0.5482 s;
Source database

Forum Home Page (Source cache)

Time: 0.4969 s;
Query Time: 0.0011 s;
Query Count: 3;
Parse Time 0.4958 s;
Source cache

Forum Post (Source database)

Time: 0.7800 s;
Query Time: 0.0003 s;
Query Count: 2
Parse Time 0.7797 s;
Source database

Forum Post (Source cache)

Time: 0.7612 s;
Query Time: 0.0003 s;
Query Count: 2
Parse Time 0.7609 s;
Source cache

So the problem is probably in your hosting. You can try to set up Discuss on MODX Cloud yourself. There is free Lab Account that you can use to test the forum there.

Thank you for your reply. I'll try and let you know.
