I've run across dumb minimal defaults left in place. Our first site completely lost the categories on a save after several weeks of work because the log file size had been left at 8MB and was unable to do a rollback when the MySQL server fell flat on its face during a category change and another person doing inventory item entry. Three other items that cause MySQL server to "go away" that need set are: max_allowed_packet = 16M wait_timeout = 1800 connect_timeout = 120 It’s amazing, but true that “Magento Hosting Partners” deliver stock OEM installations without any tuning.

They don't actually take into account usability and setting up the site the most effective way to make or aid in the selling of product. Creating a site is one thing but getting in front of the competition and the difference between making a good amount of money and A LOT amount of money can be by optimizing the sate for sales.

It would allow to disable this resource hog called "tortoise svn cache generator" - especially painful in case of multiple big projects checked out.

I don't see any performance issues now that it is turned off. Is there anything else I need to worry about since I turned it off? -Ron Hi Stefan,
