Does that say 15 seconds? Server load 7.85?! I only get server loads that high on MediaWiki pages (and I have no idea why, hopefully they reduced queries in the PHP 5 versions).
With respect to the realtime pagecompressor, some hosts do not have gzip enabled on their servers, and do not offer php.ini access to turn this on. Is the pagecompressor mod a decent alternative for these users, or does its effect on server load make it recommended to not use anything in these cases?
Also, I have been writing a hack that definitely needs its own table in the database. The hack adds 1 query to pages it's used on. It was suggested to me to instead save the database table as an array in a datastore field. I fear that some users may end up with hundreds of rows in their tables, and "querying" arrays does not have the same simplicity as MySQL. How much additional memory usage would you say is comparable to 1 MySQL query?
