<\/a><\/p>\nSite creation was timed at 2.172 seconds.<\/p>\n
Issue Summary<\/h2>\n
Whenever the \u2018Save Site as Template\u2019 option is used to create a template that contains content, there is a performance hit in the site collection when creating new sites from ANY template including out of the box ones.<\/p>\n
The issue is limited to the site collection as it is related to solutions stored in the User Solution Gallery which has a site collection scope.<\/p>\n
This issue has been recreated on several environments at various patch levels from RTM to December 2012 CU.<\/p>\n
Potential Workaround<\/h2>\n
A further test revealed that downloading the User Solution, importing into Visual Studio 2010 and then changing from a Sandbox solution to a Farm solution before re-uploading into the farm removed the performance hit.<\/p>\n
The key issue with this workaround is that it requires a developer and farm deployment, thus negating the benefits of user solutions and it does not fix the problem for the future. It is always possible that any user with the relevant rights could create a site template with content and potentially cause major problems with site management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
