does version 3.7 take more server horsepower?
 

Hi,

With all the cool features in version 3.7, will this take up more server power to get running? I can see how blogs with rss feeds, the profile page etc. will use up much more sql queries then ever before.

Shared hosting companies must hate this! hehe

Comments?

Doesn't seem to for me, considering a very harsh host which generally dislikes vBulletin isn't complaining of increased server load.

It only uses more server load if you use the new features. If your users are using the new features it will create more load.

actually, ssslippy is wrong... each piece of the software is independent from the others, so if you activate a new feature, this feature itself is not using more server... the users albums are using the same kind of process than the avatars or the profile pictures. the new profile page is not using more process than the older one because it is well coded...

the system is not loading the entire bunch of functions when it loads a page, it is using only the resources needed to operate that specific page, so there is no extra process from the server.

Do you mean server load, because I've never heard of Server horse power:confused:

lol

3.7 sometimes lags the server up, I think if you set automated backups as well
