Extremely Slow load time.
 

First some general stats. VB 3.6.8 | ibProArcade v2.6.6+

Site Stats: Threads: 445,889, Posts: 6,110,799, Members: 69,801

Recently install the arcade.. and have not yet released it to the general public... because it's too painfully slow. SO far I've only had the Mods and Admins play around with it.

Arcade stats: Record Total: 3 users, 17 Games

I turned on VB DEBUG mode, to see what's going on.

The results:
vBulletin 3.6.8 Debug Information:
* Page Generation 5.44447 seconds
* Memory Usage 1,916KB
* Queries Executed 6 (?)

and this is during a very low load time on the server... I've see the page gen time over 20 seconds!.

Clicking on the query explain link shows the following:
Page generated in 5.941 seconds with 8 queries, spending 0.0122 doing MySQL queries and 5.9293 doing PHP things.

in comparison the forumhome page is generated in about 0.20 seconds! and rarely goes above 1 second even when showing over 1,000 users online.

because it have an "IPB core" in it.......
run vBulletin and IPB at the same time..

it is just PHP and just translating some commands from Invision-commands to vBulletin-commands, nothing more. There is no IPB running inside...

Try this settings to increase performance:
-> set "show crowns in postbit" to NO
-> set "show tournaments won in postbit" to NO
-> set "save only users top score" (not "save all scores")
-> activate score-pruning (e.g. to 7 days)
-> show 8 games per page

I did all that, and the there is barely any difference in load time.... still takes around 4 seconds to load.

:(


any other suggestions?
