what's an "average" server load?
 
i have both the ajax shoutbox, and the vbpager system installed on two boards that i run, and i'm worried my host is going to have a problem with it (because some people had issues with the shoutbox for that reason).

my boards are not that busy, we get about 50-80 visitors a day, but lots of them just browse and then leave. checked server averages today on one of my boards and this is what it said:

15.67 10.24 7.57 | 1 Users Online (1 members and 0 guests)

is that bad?

Yes, that's bad.

With 50-80 visitors a day, I'd expect the server loads to remain at least below 2.00 depending on the specs of the server.

I think I read somewhere on here that those 2 hacks are notorious for slowing down a server. Try disabling them and see what you get then. I think you will be surprised. ;)

And, as Andy said, those servers loads are extremely high for the amount of visitors you get daily. ;)

gahhh.. yeah, that's what i thought :/ i mean i don't mind myself, i just don't want my host to contact me..which they probably will if this continues. i'll probably disable the shoutbox first i guess, since that's the one that's said to really cause a lot of problems.

thanks guys.

Another thing you could look into is installing any optimisation hacks that are available - They may help to decrease the server load of any other scripts that are causing it to increase :)

Thanks for this thread arcadian_girl! I was having the same problem and just uninstalled the shoutbox, but for some reason my server numbers are still high. ( I think) Server Load Averages 2.94 3.27 3.45 | 6 Users Online (4 members and 2 guests)

I guess I have to check out some of those optimisation hacks that are out there.

Are you running vbpager? That's another resource hog. ;)

Give it an hour or so for the server to stabilise.

Depending who is hosting you, you may also want to try requesting a server reboot.

This is rough, but as a general rule, (and again, this is my simplistic understanding), for every 1 CPU, server load of 1 means that CPU is used 100%, so if you have dual CPUs, server loads under 2 is good. 4 CPUs, server loads up to 4 is good. Someone can probably correct me and explain better, but that's my rule of thumb.

FLMom 05-10-2006 10:58 PM
No, I don't have the vbpager, not ever sure what it is LOL

Thanks Oblivion Knight, I have ASO, so hopefully they can help too
