Delay in loading large forums

[sturdevk]

Hi,

We recently upgraded to 3.6.10, forum display is very slow with 4000 forums. I configured xcache for it, not a big improvement, it takes around 30-40 seconds to load the page.

It would be great if anybody can suggest me the settings for xcache to improve the performance.

Thanks,
S~

My current settings are:

xcache.size = 64M
xcache.count = 1
xcache.slots = 8K
xcache.ttl = 7200
xcache.gc_interval = 300

xcache.var_size = 64M
xcache.var_count = 1
xcache.var_slots = 8K
xcache.var_ttl = 7200
xcache.var_maxttl = 14400
xcache.var_gc_interval = 300

4000 Forums?Wow

You should probably post over in the Server Configuration forum at vb.com.

Having 4000 forums will bring every server on it's knees. Most likely you (well, your server ) are short of memory.

Good one Marcho. Thanks for the replies.
Do you think increasing RAM and resetting xcahce will help for the better performance?

Thanks,

I suggest asking in the server configuration forum at vB.com, but general consensus is that around 1500 forums is the maximum for most servers without running into problems.
