I installed this mod hoping to recover some of the increase in load I saw after upgrading from 3.0.10 to 3.6.5.
But this mod didn't help. The templates directory has 230 files making up 7.2MB of templates in it and APC shows what looks to be all of those being stored in its cache. So it is running.
However, cricket (and the scripts feeding cricket) show no discernable difference from before installing this mod and afterwards. See the attached picture. The green is the length of time in milliseconds it takes to get /forum/index.php. The red is the number of people currently browsing the forum (including guests, 15 minute timeout). You can see the big uptick in green last weekend, that was the upgrade to 3.6.5. We spent the week being slow. Easter weekend was dead for us, during which I installed this mod. Then yesterday was back to being slow.
I guess its time to upgrade hardware.
