Yes, the plugin adds an extra query.

However, it should be fine on busy websites. The query itself is relatively small in comparison with others run on other modifications that are available..

Thanks for replying obilivon. Is it possible to make this mod using the same query as the posts? So it doesn't need to run extra queries?

To be honest, in this instance the additional query is better than trying to merge it into an existing query (not 100% sure it's possible), as it'd make the existing query larger by accessing more data at the same time, and would have more of an affect on your server.

Earlier the load was up to 12. I am not sure if it's this plugin or just server is runing cron. I've never seen that high even with more user online. I think i will monitor the server more and if the load is still doesn't come down i will disable the plugin and see if it helps.

Sorry hehe everytime i installs a plugin or a hack i just worry about the server load. So I need to be extremly carefor about any hack I install. :/

Ouch, that is quite high.. What are your normal server loads?

Are you on a dedicated or shared server?

I am on 2 dual xeon dedicated servers. Sorry I've to correct the load earlier has notihng to do with this hack. The load was suddenly went up to 100 then ban server crashed had to page the techs to restart it. No sure what happendd. But the load is loading fine with this hack on. :D clicks install. :)

hey, i will break all your records ... just having a load of 18 ... yesterday it has been 12 ... and all this with only 5-15 users online ... weired

ouh, it went up to 100 for you ... hmmm, what could this be?!?!
some logs?

It could be anything, although the "vB Shout" mod has been known to cause increased server loads..

No logs atm. It's not happening again now. no I didn't install vb shout. The servers just suddenly acting very weired yesterday and I wasn't doing anything. Just seeing the load went up and the server goes boom. I ask the tech what caused this problem and the techs didn't give me an answer.

I am only using vb advance VB forum this hack and photopost. Didn't dare to install other custom hack yet. without testing their loads.

@oblivion knight thanks for the info. I was actully thinking install vb shout but I won't anymore. :)

I NEED THIS too !:disappointed:
