I want to report impact of this mod on server resources.
This is mod that uses the most server resources. Showthread page generation time with this mod is about 80-90% longer, even for guests. As users spent most time looking at threads, this almost halves number of users server could serve (keep online).
I tested also with lower number of posts per page (I have 25 posts per page). At 10 posts per page I'm getting about the same page generation time as without this mod.
This is really huge impact on server. The problem is even worse as it impacts guests' page creation time. All my other mods (and I have quite few of them) doesn't compare with this mod.
I'm writing this to ask if there could be some performance tricks, whatever, that would reduce impact of this mod on server.
I also tried to use vBSEO likes system and if someone asks, it's even bigger server hog.
I'll keep it installed, but at the moment I'll turn it off, hoping that something could be done. Please, my users like this mod very much, try to work your magic and reduce impact on server, or at least impact on guests. I could use it if it will impact only registered users.
I'll post this on DBTech site too.
