ok...
I don't use gzip or mod_deflate cause I don't know how or what they are (unless you are saying those are used by vbulletin by default?). yah yah..I'm a noob. but what can I do but learn? soo..........

any tips/links/suggestions on implementing those (if it isn't default to vbull)?

Theres an option in vBulletin to turn gzip on, and set its page compression level. Turn it on and set it to 1.

Zachery.. I need a suggestion.. I've installed mod_gzip on my server.. Now when I did enable mod_gzip via AdminCP I got tramendous result.. The page size decrease to 25+ KB intotal.. But when do I disbale mod_gzip via admincp use only server's mod_gzip then the page properties increase to 100+ KB.. Now is it fair to keep enable mod_gzip in vB ACP? This is my microstats..

You probally do not directly have mod_gzip setup to compress php pages, if its enabled on the server enable it in the vB config.

Hmm.. I'm on a shared hosting.. Thanx for the suggestion.. I've removed few useless or less usefull hack.. My microstats now..

Page generated in 0.66536 seconds with 19 queries [Server Loads: 1.63 1.68 : 1.85]

Just wondering with Moderation Auto PM hack most of time my server load was 3 or 5+.. Sometimes It was 10+.. I see one day 15 .. I did open a support ticket in vBSEO as I thought its for vbseo.. But no.. After disabling vBSEO the load was same.. Then I try to disable every single hack & check the stat.. I found that hack as a resource hunger..

If you are on a shared server remember, its shared, the sever loads are for the entire server, not just you.

Spider Watcher
Spider Watcher global_start
Spider Watcher Template Group template_groups
Spiders Location (Part 1) online_location_process
Spiders Location (Part 2) online_location_unknown

ip resolution would bring the server load up.

The thing is all the hacks i have installed are being used in 1 way or an other,
I have removed about 10 - 20 hacks over the last few days, ones that werent
really used or were installed to test it out....

I was always led to beleive that the PsiStats were server intensive, so i disabled
this only to find no difference lol

When debug mode is on what does the (3) mean next to the template, (3) is
just an example, There is one thst (74) i think it is?

psistats is not server intensive. at all. esspecially 1.4.1+.
