[#7024] CB Language Overrides takes a LONG time to load

I have many CB language overrides in 2 languages and when I click to open a particular language plugin it takes almost 3 minutes for the page to render. This makes trying to go back and forth between languages to add new or modify existing languge strings rather frustrating. Is there some server setting or other strategy I can use to speed up loading time?

How many is many? If possible attach your override language file found below and will see if I can reproduce the performance loss.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/LANGUAGE/override.php

Our repeat usage is kinda heavy but latest CB releases have significantly improved its performance. Please be sure you've latest CB build installed.

There are about 2000 overrides and I am using all latest nightly builds as of 7 February. I tried to attach override.php but it won't allow files with .php extensions...

Renamed file override.txt and attached.

I'll be honest it was never designed to handle such a large usecase. You should just flat out have a custom language plugin for so many overrides. At any rate I am seeing a slow down, not 3 minutes or anything of the sort, but it's definitely slower than desired. Will see if there's a way to improve it further, but even if improved you're likely to hit input limits as it's 2 inputs per override meaning you'd hit 4000 inputs and may need to adjust php.ini to allow for more.

Looked into this further and I don't have anything to suggest beyond directly edit the override.php file as you've far too many overrides than was intended for this usage so it can't handle it. Have noted the issues in the ticket and will likely require a rewrite to our overrides usage to handle larger sets of overrides, but it seams like you're trying to use overrides to replace the need for a language plugin and instead should just install the necessary language plugin.

Thank you for looking into this!

When you recommend installing the necessary language plugin, what does that mean exactly? Language plugin for CB? Don't I already have those installed in order to have the overrides available to me? What would I do differently with the language plugin? How would this allow me to avoid using overrides?
