Removing files has ZERO impact on nuke's performance Smile

whats the main parts of nuke i should look at for speed, i have removed all lang except english, it seems the biggest impact on nuke is the blocks without them its so low like close to 10 queries would cache sort this problem out, i was thinking if there is a good cache so when users install my ditro there wont be much work for them to do,
as jpcache you have to give the full url of the includes home/username/hhtp_public/includes is there an better way of doing this so it will work straight out of the box with out having the full url

There are several ways to reduce SQL load by merging queries and other stuff.
The disadvantages could be slow queries or high memory usage.

The trick is to find the best solution for each individual module/file.
Biggest query eaters are is_admin() and is_user() as explained by steven111, someone i forgot name of and me on nukecops.com after a discussion about duplicate/re-occuring queries.

A good cache system also speeds up your system, but be carefull since it also eats more memory in PHP itself.

The best way to find out, is to list all queries each page calls.
