[TYPO3-english] loading extension list speed up

[Tomasz Krawczyk]

Hello list,

Yesterday, I was downloading extension list on my development pc. For 
this operation I had to change max_execution_time to 15 min. Process 
took over 12 min. My pc is not a scrap jet. It's 3 years old machine 
with E8400 processor.

I wonder if we could resign from putting whole history that is inside 
extensions.xml file. In order to check if I have to upgrade some 
extension I only need an info about the newest extension versions in the 
TER to compare with installed. Detailed info is the ChangeLog file.

Now the table cache_extensions contains over 36.000 records. I don't 
think it is necessary.

What do you think guys?
