pay no attention to the data compiled for today the 22nd as it is not complete

I should include that last sunday's traffic (14th) was very similar to this sunday's (21st). I am using memcache. There is also a similar trend on the web server's inbound data.

Outbound bandwidth has decreased by ~47% on the database server!!! (based one day of similar data) What does this mean for most of you? Fewer database queries = lower server load = faster site = happy forum users!

Bottom line: This mod is going to save me money as I am currently going over on my bandwidth as well as improve user experience!

Nominated for mod of the month and will be donating

While I'd say this is certainly fantastic.... could it be the holidays, mostly? You should see a relative decrease in all traffic, CPU and RAM utilization, and so forth if that were the case.

I just can't imagine disabling 2-3 global queries has such a large impact... Esp w/ one of them being such a small query.. (The style one)

Of course if it continually stays that low, good work Deceptor!!
