the problem with the basic configurations that are not set properly for performance is that a lot of vBulletin owner do not know a single bit of stuff related to their servers... they host their forum on free hosting services, where the configs are usually crap... vBulletin is built with a lot of backward compatible systems to avoid corruption based on these free hosting services... the only pure solution for Jelsoft would be to host all the forums sold, so they would drop like 20 000 lines of code in the system.

Actually I did change those settings and it screwed all of my styles. So I reverted it back to default. I wouldn't recommend anyone else doing it either without testing it first on a test board.

Most forum admins aren't going to study EVERY single line of the vBulletin manual. Nor do they care that someone is anal about having a neat page source code. Just because you have doesn't mean we all do. Some of us do have other, real concerns to deal with.
