The tests were not done with 1.0 caching on

And the page caching applies well to static content, not a typical dynamic community website scenario

Interestingly for low-traffic websites on shared servers, test case 2 applies, with files not in cache, where the large number of small included files in joomla 1.5 gives approx. factor 2 performance hit over test 3, while in 1.0 performance hit is like 20%, 1.0 including less but larger files.

As said, in Joomla 1.5, there is really room for improvement (and that's really positive), Spacemonkey said it too in the joomlaperformance discussion thread as well, it will most probably be improved, but it's not there yet

Anyway, don't really want to turn this thread into a Joomla performance discussion, there is the thread on joomlaperformance for that .

I think our heads-up got understood. More importantly, with CB 1.2 we are reaffirming our commitment to support long-term the freedom of CMS choice of CB users (since Mambo 4.5.0, when CB started), whatever that choice has been .

I'm making sure you know that Internet Explorer 8.0 beta is out. I'm just making sure you know, so that with even 1.2 or even future releases you'll be prepared.

1.1 works fine with IE 8.0, I've tested it with a developmental beta release that microsoft is letting people download now.

Can't say the same for the rest of the stuff i'm using though Looks like Ie 7 to Ie 8 is going to be as big if not bigger as ie 6 to ie 7

Yes, we are aware of that and that ucomping IE8 is moving towards standards-mode by default ! Wooohooohooo, finally. Let's hope the template-designers understand that too, and remove the bad "<?xml" prolog, which gives all of us and them too the unneeded headaches with IE6.

CB being a community project, it's CB test-team's task to verify such compatibilities as for us it's already hard to check for the major 5 current ones. If you have some free time and want to make sure that upcoming CB 1.2 stays also compatible with upcoming browsers, please feel welcome into CB testteam (pm Nick (nant) for that with reference to this post).
