Hello,

We just made 2 configuration changes on a medium sized site (2000 nodes, about 5000 pages served a day) running on a plenty big enough (2GB RAM, 3gHz processor) LAMP stack. We recently upgraded from 4.7.3 to 4.7.4. And we moved our optional modules and theme files into "sites/default/modules" and "sites/default/themes/oursite" directories, respectively. We previously had all our modules directly under "modules" and our theme files directly under "themes/oursite". We made this latter change to make future upgrades to core easier.

The site seems to be performing slower now. We've done some analysis and haven't seen anything glaring or unusual with traffic. I was wondering if anyone has experienced performance degradation when configuring Drupal to use sub sites or with the upgrade to 4.7.4. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

We moved our site files back to "modules" and "themes" and out from underneath "sites/default". This does, indeed, improve performance. Not sure why, but if anyone has any insight I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks,
Mike
