Do we need MARC records? We do need the ability to import and edit in MARC record format, by why do we store it in the database in that format? In this day and age where searching technology has advanced considerably, why are we still cataloging in a format that hinders search results and is much more time consuming then taking a Google approach and doing a full-text type search.
Caching would greatly improve performance. Using memcached would greatly increase this because it would store more information in memory. Nginx is a substitute to apache and apparently works very well with memcached and also would increase performance. Nginx talks directly to kernel and we be incredibly fast at serving static content. The NY Times profiler is a great tool to take a look where are the slow areas of a project. It would be great if someone could intstrument a way to make it easy to run the profiler against Koha. Idea for re-writing major dependcies of Koha like MARC and re-submitting it to CPAN. Using Yslow with Firebug extension is a good one to help determine what is taking a long time to load for front-end web sites.
Switch the sessions and zebraqueue table to MyISAM because innodb never shrinks an only grows and grows.
