All of this is being addressed at the core level, and hopefully we’ll have some additional scalability in this respect with the next minor release of MODx.

I’m curious--can you get around the 5K limit on total documents via turning off caching?

Thanks,
Dan

Ditto will work fine with 1000s of documents or will work fine with a custom table?
I thought that MODx itself had performance problems above 5000 documents, so I was referring to that rather than any performance problems with Ditto.

Andy, this has nothing specifically to do with Ditto actually, though I’m sure Ditto adds some additional overhead to the problem. The real problem is the current approach to caching the entire site structure within a single cache file in MODx. Sites with thousands of documents will have very large siteCache files which will tax the web server more by requiring more memory, more time to load the file from the filesystem, and more time to process it with the PHP interpreter. In addition, thousands of pageCache files will also exist in a single directory, which can also increase resource loads for the web server when reading the cache directory contents searching for a cached file. This reduces performance exponentially.
