Question

I am looking into speeding up TWiki performance.

I have read that Plugins have an effect on TWiki performance. (SpeedUpTipsForTWiki20040901)

I have many Plugins enabled, perhaps too many. Therefore I need to know which Plugins are not being used and could be disabled.

Can anyone suggest a method for collecting statistics on Plugin use?

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

You can determine the performance impact of plugins with the PluginBenchmarkAddOn; see also PluginBenchmarks. Some plugins document the benchmark numbers in the plugin info table.

There is no automated way to check if plugin is used. For those that just expand new variables you can do a global search for the variable, e.g. for the ChartPlugin you would search for %CHART.
