Stitches FAQ

Why didn't you use JCR?

I did!  That was version 2 of stitches.  It was WAY too slow.  We use stitches to present the user a list of 20 to 50 thumbnails to choose from.  All JCR servers have a 1+N query problem.  Even if you are iterating through the results, this will generate a query to the database, hence those 50 images turn into 50+ database queries. 

The good news is that I know how to work with JCR and I can easily write a publish to JCR function (especially if we get that JCR plugin)
