flexicontent FLEXIcontent version 2.0.1 (r1659)

yep I did it, and much better ! I removed the :
/* print_r($query); */
and all if working fine. not so fast than before (maybe due to item counting per filter) but it's ok ! thx for your great work !

I will re-enable (the removed parameter) that selects faceted search filter behavior (which includes):

1. Displaying filter values available according to current filtering
2. Counting items

So, if you disable the "Faceted Filter Behavior",

then the category view will have a constant high performance, regardless if your current category (or subcategories too) have 2,000 OR 10,000 or 50,000 items

furthermore if you suspect a performance issue anywhere then you can enable debug at FLEXIcontent Component Configuration via URL variable fcdebug=1, and then a message will be displayed to show all performance details, e.g. find a problematic 3rd party custom field, or a problematic field with a CUSTOM SQL query or a problem in your custom template !!!

No more being blind, you can always tell why performance has gone away !!! (if a problem arises)
