The performance flags

The performance flags

There are some flags you can define to disable some of the features of the app (like logging) to improve performance.
If you create a file named performance-levels-custom.php in apps/common/config folder, with following contents:

<?php
define('MW_PERF_LVL', MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_DS_LOG_USAGE | MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_CUSTOMER_QUOTA_CHECK | MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_DS_QUOTA_CHECK | MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_DS_CAN_SEND_TO_DOMAIN_OF_CHECK | MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_SUBSCRIBER_BLACKLIST_CHECK);

Then it will disable all the features as described below in the definitions:

'MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_DS_LOG_USAGE' => 2, // disable delivery server log usage
'MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_CUSTOMER_QUOTA_CHECK' => 4, // disable customer quota check
'MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_DS_QUOTA_CHECK' => 8, // disable delivery server quota check
'MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_DS_CAN_SEND_TO_DOMAIN_OF_CHECK' => 16, // disable checking if can send to domain of the email address
'MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_SUBSCRIBER_BLACKLIST_CHECK' => 32, // disable checking emails against blacklist

You don’t have to disable all, you can only “disable delivery server log usage” and “disable delivery server quota check”:

define('MW_PERF_LVL', MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_DS_LOG_USAGE | MW_PERF_LVL_DISABLE_DS_QUOTA_CHECK);

Or any other combination of flags.
Please note that you should disable these only if you don’t care about how many emails a customer sends for example, or if you don’t care about the blacklist checks and all.
