Mod to show System Usage? (system load, what mods are using more?)

[Necrosaro420]

Is there a mod out there that shows you the system load of all the mods? My board has continually gotten slower......Trying to find out what mod/mods are causing this. THanks!

I don't think i have run across that here......The best i have seen is the server load usuage. do you have a list of all of your current mod's? Certain program's like vbpager are very server intensive.

Aside from how were coded - many will slow down your site because of what they do. Anything that is always checking for new data, or reading through lots of data will slow things down a bit.

Examples of 'checking for new data' would be
-vbpager (assuming)
-vbspy
-vbchat
-shoutboxes

things like searching can really kill large forums

Poorly coded mods can bring a large forum to its knees. Usually people forget to uses indexes, and it will have to look through the millions of posts, rather than taking a peak at the index to find something.

You won't find a mod that will track other mods' server usage. You would have to add timers to them seperately to track what they are doing and how long they are taking.

Here is a list of what I have. Thanks!
