I/O Spike when adding product

[philjackson1_4499]

Hello! First, I'd like to compliment you on excellent modules for prestashop. They are fantastic! I'm running into a small problem that I hope you can help me with. My site is ready to launch, but when I start to create a product the site slows considerably and the I/O spikes. Any idea what I could do to fix this? It's fast everywhere else, just slow for sellers to create products. Thanks!

thanks for using our modules.
not sure what could be the cause. one possible cause might be you have some categories set in dead loop.
please check if that is the case.

I checked my categories and they are all listed and loading properly. It's only when I'm logged in to the seller account, go to products, then click on add product. Everything is fine until I click to add a product. From there on it is slow until the product creation is complete.

Not sure what could be the issue.
Those page might be a little slow than otherwise pages, but it should not be a big difference.
make sure you have enabled Smarty cache. Check other performances setting at back office - Advanced Parameters - Performances tab

I have Smarty cache enabled, CCC and all subsequent parts to 'Yes'. Is there anything I can do to check my settings? I would assume it's a hosting issue, but all other parts of the site are smooth.

How much difference is this page and other pages?
