Thats the total time it takes to create the page code itself including all database calls, to be honest we could probably do with slimming it down a little, just the forum pages alone have 54 database calls but the majority f those are to do with the module boxes on the left side,
Hiding the module in the cookie jar shouldnt really have any effect because the module is still loaded, it's just hidden, although i do agree it does have an effect, but it shouldn't lol
It cant be the chatterbox because the chatterbox is only loaded on the homepage, not the forum pages or pm's etc, all do some digging to see what i can sort out
After looking into it today I was surprised to see how fast a large majority of the site loaded. I think the problems experienced on a lot of the pages were do to relying on external sites, wastebook, top 100, photobucket, etc. There are a lot of external variables that come in to play and for me they were more about network performance than the actual XI site performance.
BTW I noticed hiding the module does help just because it does not have to load the external images. The member images for some reason (to me) was the worst.
Honestly there is alot going on and things could always be tuned up but I say kudos to Ph4nt0m for such a good job!
