Filter products by attributes - Very SLOW results problem

Hi,

I have a really annoying problem with my site. I've installed the Filter Products by Attributes and Price Range, and I have about 600 products installed, each has 5 attributes (set as read only). This means theres just under 3000 attributes over all the products.

When I use the filter to search for a set attribute (Inner Diameter = 10mm for example) and perform a search, the results are displayed fine. However, if nothing is selected and only the Attribute Names are displayed, the search take a lifetime and eventually crashes the mysql database.

Is there a way to edit this module to direct it to a "No products have been selected" page, when someone doesn't actually select an attribute to filter?

Or if anyone knows why it makes the database crash... I would love to know how to stop it!

THanks for any help... this problem is really killing me!

Which module are you using for your Product Filter?

Have you an example of what you are doing, on a click for click, where this is slow on your site?

Hi, although this is a relatively older post, I have come across the same issue with the product filter by attributes and price range mod...
I have quite a few mandatory attributes that must be selected... This slowed down my site... however, I installed the query cache mod, which increase performance on my site, however, did absolutely nothing to the filter by attributes mod...

Do you have any suggestions?
