Performance Issues with Large Sites

Please note that many of the operations, such as cleaning up page types, publishing documents, or building configurations, can be quite time intensive.

On vary large sites, these operations can take minutes (even upwards of 10-30 minutes on our largest site).

So when running these operations, it is recommended that:

1. Run the site in debug mode (removes page timeout restrictions)
2. Set your SQL connection string timeout to a large number, so long running queries don't time out.
3. Be patient, if a page or operation is hanging, it's probably because it's just taking a loooong time.
