i have just installed boost and i should say it has made my site 50 times faster
things were breaking apart due to the large number of modules and the mysql server was dying to serve it as the pageloads reached more than 100/minute..
so i installed boost, which i shpuld say is a lifesaver, esp for shared hosting,.
But i have 2 problems,.
1)i have set the cache expiry as 3 hours,. but for the front page alone i want to have it as 30 mins/1 hour,
is it possible to have a different value for 1 page?
2) the satus report says
You need to get a newer version of poormanscron, most likely the latest dev, or the 2.0 branch.
but i am apprehensive of using 6.x-2.0-beta1 of poormans cron since it has the EXCLAMATORY MARK in the project page

you should check the
you should check the documentation (http://drupal.org/node/545664) and if there is no answer there post this on the issue cue for the boost module (http://drupal.org/project/issues/boost)
i enabled theboost page cache
i enabled theboost page cache settings block
for the page which i want to have a different cache lifetime, i have set the cache expiry to i hours (changed from default
but that value is not saving.. its returning to default when i revisit the page
Boost Blocks
The "Boost: Pages cache configuration" block will allow you to set the cache expiration via "Maximum cache lifetime:" Once you set that to 1 hour, be sure to press the "Set Configuration" button. Looks like I need to fix a bug with the boost tag at the bottom of the page; but you can be sure that its set correctly via the "Boost: Pages cache status" block which will tell you the expiration time. More details in this issue: #643548: Expires Tag in the html is not set correctly for custom expiration times
Use the 1.1 version of poormans cron; I need to change that as well. See this issue: #643552: Fix warning about the incorrect version of poormanscron. Recommend 1.1 not 1.dev now.
