hello, to speed the cart with opc, we suggest:
- delayed shipping (so it's not loaded within the same thread / time as the cart page loads) -> some shipping methods ignore this and set the shipping even outside their proper events... but in 99 percent cases this speeds up the load
- you can try to enable/disable "Generate OPC config javascript file" at the general tab (depending on your bottleneck, this will either write opc's script into the html OR within a javascript file, if your IO is slow, you may want to write it to the html directly, option should be disabled)
- make sure that everysingle plugin of types vmpayment + vmshipment which are not used within virtuemart are disabled within your joomla plugin config (this will speed up events in all virtuemart)
- disable all system plugin which are not used susch as "system - log" "system - debug" or else
make sure your hosting returns all javascript/css pre-compressed with mod_rewrite and it does not slow down your site
any sort of optimalization is always a matter of:
RAM vs CPU vs IO
you cannot really optimize all 3 at once, therefore if you are using a "css/js compression plugins" this can indeed slow down your CPU that much, that the load would be slower if not using them.
