Server load has been covered a few times on this thread, but I am still baffled why there is a problem. With Zero Tolerance's Shoutbox 2.1 there was no increase on server load and shouts were instant.
With this mod if you set the refresh too low you get high server load. If you set the refresh high then you have ridiculous time delays and messages get out of synch.
I have set refresh to 4 seconds and the server load as in 'top' can get up to 4 or 5. If I set the refresh to 10 or more seconds my members complain about the delay.
I ran FlashChat for a while and that did not affect server load.
So how come we have this problem?
