Server Load and Strain?

[Kaelon]

Odd that upon searching the discussions, there didn't seem to be one about how much strain/added server-load (whether through additional queries, or further calculations) this most excellent hack causes. Does anyone know, or care to discuss?

It's not a server-intensive hack, most of the information required for the program, are already fetched by vB when the other information is fetched. For example the decision to show the "Warn XYZ" link etc, is fetched when the postbit information and the $bbuserinfo information is fetched, so no separate query is needed. So is the information about a user warnings, warning points and bans.

When you warn someone, there are of course a couple of queries run, but that does not happen every second, does it?

As for the scheduled tasks, these should be run once a day, so nothing spectacular there either.

Overall, this should not add significant burden to your server.
