How can I speed up the process of cache rebuilding?

[cynthetiq]

i have a slow server, so rebuilding the cache after each modification install or template edit takes a very long time to rebuild.

Is there a way that I can make all the changes that I need and then it does the rebuild? Can I use a test environment and do the rebuild there and copy the files over?

You can try installing it on local host and then import/export the database to/from your server.

You will need to lock your forum though after you have exported the database, as any new members or posts made in the time you work on it will be lost when you import from your local host database back to your server.

Thanks I think I'll try that solution.
