Try the following optimizations in ae.ini:
Change pagesize to 10 or 20 rather than the default of 25. Amazon returns data in blocks of 10 so displaying 25 results on a page actually requires 3 requests to amazon. 20 results requires only 2 requests to amazon. And only 10 results requires only 1 request to amazon.com
Increase cache.stale from 1 to a higher number. This variable specifies the number of hours that data remains fresh in the cache before it becomes stale and is deleted from the cache (maximum 72 hours). However, increasing this value would only speed up repeat requests. Also, you should set showPrices to no if you set cache.stale to more than 1 hour otherwise out of date prices may be shown.
Increase cache.size to a higher number. Maximum is "10mb" which is 10 megabytes.
Set imageWH to no. You should not turn on imgehWH unless you really need that since it increases CPU and internet usage.
Set asinsearch.format to "" so that product details are not shown locally using AE but rather at the amazon.com website instead. However, of course, the disadvantage of this is that details are not shown locally. _________________ DJ Josh Blade
