That is definitely not normal. We have merchants with 10,000+ products whose searches are almost instant. DB uploads in ShopSite should also be quick.

A few things you can check:
– If the server your account is on is overloaded, or is running slow, this will impact dynamic events like search, uploads, etc…
– A very busy server (or VPS node) can have slow FTP speeds, as well as slow script execution
– Make sure you’re running the latest version of ShopSite (10 SP1 r1).
– Ask your host what the average load of your server/VPS is, and if there are any users / processes that are hogging resources like CPU or high disk usage (called IO wait).
– To maximize search performance, make sure your stoplist excludes common words and disable stemming.

If you have some suggestions besides running the ‘Compact’ utility, which we have to request our host (Verio) to do for us because it always times out on us… We are all ears!
It can also take us literally hours to upload new product files. We have spoken with ShopSite and Verio directly and they all seem clueless for the most part.
