This is a wiki to plan a module to allow admins to add indexes to their site schema - this can be done easily in Drupal 6 and beyond using http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_schema_alter/6 - this discussion came from http://drupal.org/node/231453, where it was realized that CCK does not really have the usage context to be able to do this effectively, and also there are tables beyond CCK getting used in new ways by views and other modules that also need alternate indexes.

The Drupalcon performance session is the most popular session, or certainly one of the most popular sessions. We will probably have access to the keynote room for this session. For Drupalcon Boston, we brought together a team of 7 performance experts who presented on a variety of topics. Two of them did so well that they are now admins on Drupal.org itself.

If you are interested in presenting in the Drupalcon Performance session, please indicate what part of performance you would like to address.

What about these 2 wiki's?
http://groups.drupal.org/node/21897
http://groups.drupal.org/node/57563
Either way we should have one source.

I thought I'd create a Wiki listing of all modules that can help beginners and intermediary drupal users (like myself) to optimise their websites' pageloads. Please enter the modules that you are familiar with, and few words of description/review/rating would also be helpful.

This is the result of a chat in IRC one day. It got really positive feedback, but the tone was suggested it would never be done. I don't know why it couldn't actually happen.
