A few questions about vBulletin.
 
Hi. I am currently running a UBB board, however.. recently my bandwidth is getting really high. I was informed by a friend to check out vBulletin. He claims it reduces bandwidth because it uses PHP instead of CGI.

Now... first... will it make my bandwidth go down if I change?
Does VB make use of zlib?

Any help would be greatly appreicated! :)

Thanx
Jon

vB does use gzip which can drastically reduce bandwidth, but I'm not sure on how much a normal vB page takes up in bandwidth compared to a UBB page. I'm betting that vB would win just because it has gzip.

You can enable gzip compression in the vb admin panel to reduce bandwith

Yeah but that feature have side effect... it will provide bit higher queries.

True, it does save server load for bandwidth, but bandwidth is usually more expensive ;)

CGI is a killer on server load. PHP is much easier on the server. The tiny extra bit of increase server load with gzip turned on is negligible compared to the strain CGI puts on a server.
