Switch to Pressflow as default packaged core version

Issue Summary

I propose switching to Pressflow as the default version of Core packaged with Commons. This is trivial to do by updating the make file used to package Commons, eg http://drupalcode.org/project/commons.git/blob/refs/heads/6.x-2.x:/commo... .

This would make the default download of Commons compatible only with MySQL but bring in all the performance enhancements of Pressflow.

#1

I would very much like to see this.

There are a few core patches to improve performance (module_implements cache for example) that Commons would benefit from, and these patches are all against pressflow.

#2

yes, please, for Pressflow.

In the meantime, what is a good way to install Pressflow with Commons?

Do I just install Pressflow over Commons?

Is there version of commons-dev.make for including Pressflow?

Thanks for any help and shortcuts as I want to update 8 Commons sites with Pressflow.

+1 this is as it should be.

It will be necessary to look at how to setup an upgrade path as well. People using the default distribution with MyISAM tables will need to change to InnoDB or pressflow will not perform as well.
