Extendware’s Magento Improved Indexing helps make the backend more responsive. Many stores will discover that in time the saving of products, categories, and other items becomes slow. The more products / stores that you have the slower it can become. This is a big issue because time is money. Employees will do less work in the same amount of time if the admin backend is slower.
Improved Indexing will perform index operations in the backend. Index operations is a large part of why product saving is slow. The end result is a more responsive backend that allows you and your employees to get more work done.
What are the expected results? This depends on a large variety of factors. Most stores will see around 2-18 seconds time-savings per saved product. The more products you have, the more overloaded your mysql database, the more stores you have, etc, will mean more savings.
