  According to the page render time plugin with everything else constant, .760 renders pages more slowly than .750. Anybody else seeing this?

  Should be quicker - an SQL query has been removed in the session setup which improves performance. I haven't actually tested like for like though.

  yep, i'm seeing the same. Disabled sessions for anonymous users and removed 2 blocks, but it is still slower.

  From my tests (not extensive and not very scientific) .760 is a fraction (but only a fraction) slower when using non Xanthia themes since we used a templated module (header_footer) instead of echo'd PHP for the HTML to wrap the module output.
  
  Firstly check your pnRender configuration and turn off compile checking and force recompilation as this now will have an impact on every page load. If using a xanthia theme then make sure that the check for updated templates and force recompilation are off.
  
  If your using a xanthia theme (or have AutoTheme pro) then you can turn on full page caching for a good performance boost. I regulary have pages render in about .12-.15 seconds using this configuration.

  Should cacheing be turned on in Xanthia or in pnRender. Also why are compile check and force compile options available in both pnRender and Xanthia? Xanthia and pnRender seem to offer very similar things and there doesn't seem to be any logic between when to use caheing in one and not the other or both or neither.
  
  Could someone please explain what these similar functions do between the two modules.
  
  I know I'm sort of hijacking this thread but it is sort of on topic. If not then I'll open a new thread.

  Xanthia controls the templates for themes (themes/<your theme="theme">/templates) and pnRender controls templates for modules (modules/<mod name="name">/pntemplates). The two have different force compilation settings and check for updated compliation templates because the two modules have been written seperately following somewhat different development paths. In future PN releases these will be more closely integrated.

  I notice this with a simple Xanthia theme and compiling turned off but when everything like database, server, settings and so forth is the same .760 runs slower than .750.

  Ok, i've done some further testing but i can't figure it out why.
  I upgraded one of the postnuke sites on my vps from 0.750 to 0.760, turned sessions for anonymous users off, and removed to blocks from the frontpage. This site used to have the page render time between 0.5 and 1 second. Now it's somewhere between 2.5 and 5 seconds. Using a slightly modified PostNukeBlue xantia theme, pnrender caching activated, xantha caching not activated.
  
  There are still a few sites running on 0.750 on the same vps. With heavier (more KB's output) classic themes they still get the page rendered in less than 0.5 seconds. So i think i can rule out the server....

  RacerX,
  I gave MarkWest access to my site and he uploaded a new pnApi.php, which resulted in a fast site again. So you might want to try updating pnApi
