Performance considerations
In order to get the most out of PlanetPress Connect, it is important to determine how best to
maximize performance. The following guidelines will be helpful in extracting the best
performance from PlanetPress Connect and they give a rough indication when it would be
useful to start looking into hardware upgrades or extra PlanetPress Connect Performance
Packs.
Performance analysis details
Connect's output speed is limited to a certain number of output items (web pages, emails, or
printed pages) per minute. What the maximum total output speed will be is determined by your
licence and any additional Performance Packs you might have (see "Speed quota: PPM and
speed units" on page115).
To get an indication of the actual Print output speed, output a Print template to a PDF, PS file,
using one single Weaver engine and the maximum number of speed units per job (see
"Weaver engine scheduling" on page127).
Next, open the log file of the Weaver engine. By default, the log files are located in this folder:
C:\Users\[username]\Connect\logs\WeaverEngine, where [username] needs to be replaced
with your own Windows username. Search the log file for "PPM" (pages per minute). Repeat
this a few times to determine the average output speed.
Likewise, the output speed for an Email or Web template can be found by running it with one
Merge engine and maximum speed units; in the Merge engine's log file, search for "PPM".
If your jobs are not running at the licensed speed, there may be several ways to improve
performance, as described below. Make sure to address all issues mentioned in this topic
before deciding that you need to invest. Note however that it is not guaranteed that the licensed
speed can be achieved with any job. Creating output for templates with very complex scripts or
complex graphics resources will take a certain amount of time, even on high-end hardware.
