Whats the Top 10 worst hacks 4 server load?

[thincom2000]

Does that say 15 seconds? Server load 7.85?! I only get server loads that high on MediaWiki pages (and I have no idea why, hopefully they reduced queries in the PHP 5 versions).

With respect to the realtime pagecompressor, some hosts do not have gzip enabled on their servers, and do not offer php.ini access to turn this on. Is the pagecompressor mod a decent alternative for these users, or does its effect on server load make it recommended to not use anything in these cases?

Also, I have been writing a hack that definitely needs its own table in the database. The hack adds 1 query to pages it's used on. It was suggested to me to instead save the database table as an array in a datastore field. I fear that some users may end up with hundreds of rows in their tables, and "querying" arrays does not have the same simplicity as MySQL. How much additional memory usage would you say is comparable to 1 MySQL query?

My forum executes 16 queries and i have 32 hacks installed (the majority are template edits only).

Page generated in 0.25615096 seconds (93.69% PHP - 6.31% MySQL) with 16 queries
DEBUG Mode OFF | GZIP ON (level 1) | 4.52 : 3.22 : 2.78

Is that ok?

That's an insane number of queries, and too long for a page generation.

How are you seeing this info, I dont see this on any page exept when I open a post, & it never tells me how many queries.?

I have 2 whole plugins. VBimagehost and Subforum display manager.

I have heard some major horror stories about VBshout.

Great thread.... please someone clean up the not needed posts about the morel issue. Now I run 3.5.4. The forum is running fine so I am not touching a thing to go to the latest release.

But I have turned on my micro stats (didn't know what they were used for before now)

I am on a shared server with godaddy and have noticed that the pages some times load slowly. Perhaps it is not my site but on godaddys end.

on my forum page my micro stats says the following

Page generated in 0.83442 seconds with 16 queries (1 queries for uncached templates) [Server Loads: 4.27 4.53 : 4.98]
Uncached templates: adv_gallery_imagebit (3)

how do I cash that template... I am going to poke around.. I will prob find the answer but typ that server load is 5 to 7

Also how can I determin exactly what mod causes the server load?

Last one post in this thread someone asked about the setting on update thread view or something like that but where is that setting, what should that value be and how does that help?

WOW tons of useful info here but just not enough directions to use it all. Like for instance this talk about GZIP where does one find that I've searched the admincp and can not find anything there for it. Also the Page refresh feature where is that?
And this talk about DBUG where the heck is that as well?
Thanks for the help

vbShout + add to all pages mod = CRASH! I have a lot of issues with vbShout. If you dont use the addons for it i think you will be ok. Also vbSEO used to crash my server constantly b/c there are LOTS of inifinite loops in the way it modifies the htaccess with certain setups.

Ok I found the option for Gzip and its set to 1. But I still do not see debug or any of refresh rate adjustment. I have VBshout flatline installed at my forum and it runs without a hitch no errors to report and users love it I normally have about 20 people talking in there at peak times. System load is still a bit higher than I would like in the 2 range but the site loads incredibly fast so I can't complain that much.
I also recently had the Vbshout2.0 installed and that was causing all types of problems on my board.

I read some where that if the server has this turned off by default, you should turn the compression to 3.
