Just courious to hear what others experience:

Since DBSEO is installed we had to alter some server settings (var_maxs limits) to make sure, that DBSEO can work and changes in the vb backend, that have to run many queries at the same time, are stored completly in the DB and not only partial. That was what we´d experienced before and resulted in a variety of problems, until Fillip could sort out that we had to raise our var_max_input limits to over 10.000 and to remove Sohusin from our server. We don´t felt very comfortable with this, as we´ve tried to tweak our server to be more hardend against attacks we´d been facing in the past. But even those limits don´t avoid, that we receive DB errors from DBSEO stating "Too many connections" from time to time. That may be related to the fact, that SE´s are actually reindexing the new sitemaps and this creates usage peaks. Fillip already explained, why this limits have to be that high but I hope DBTech comes up with a somehow "lighter" script.

The reason why I´m typing this essay: since we´ve installed DBSEO we watched the server closely to see how hard it hits regarding server-performance. By now we´ve noticed that our CPU-load more than doubled and is running with up to 140% (w/o DBSEO 50-70) on a permanantly basis and also we see server load averages (1:5:15) with ~ 1.49:1.66:1.69 (w/o DBSEO ~ 0.7:0.8:0.7). (Server specs: Opteron 6338P with 12 Cores x 2,3 GHz, 32 GB DDR3 ECC, latest CentOS and SQL versions)

Anyone else experiencing something like that?
