acquia

Is anyone else noticing performance issues with their Drupal Acquia installations? I have installed the 6.9 version on a few sites, and they are extremely slow to load in a browser compared to Drupal 5.x and Drupal 6.x installs. I was just curious to see if any others in the IndyDUG were having these problems.

Cheers!

Thanks to DrupalCamp.de sponsor Acquia, we have two boxes of T-Shirts, in two different styles, to give away. Shirts will be given to people who attend the Acquia question and answer session on Saturday, January 17th, 2009, at 16:00 in the World room.

I´ve been thinking of tossing up an Acquia Drupal (community edition) install but had a couple questions for the group first. Sorry if they sound newb´ish, just never done an Acquia install yet.

What do you folks use- raw drupal from d.o or the acquia install?
Is there a time/reason when it´s better to use one or the other?
Is there a difference in stability or is it just an advanced starting point vs. starting from the ground up.

It seems the major difference is that the Acquia package contains some of the most popular/productive contrib modules.

Guys, just want to share. Drupal founder Dries Buytaert has just posted a job wanted ad -- their Drupal company Acquia is looking for support engineers. Blogged about it at my site PinoyTechie.com. Don't forget to put me down as the referrer because there's a $1,000 USD to $2,500 USD bounty for someone who refers a successful candidate hehe. ;-)
