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

I'm happy to report that my bandwidth hovered around 40gb a day for all of dec and jan! I was not charged for expensive overages those two months because of this hack!
