Can anyone help with reducing load? · **Released**: 12-07-2006

Hi there,

Was hoping someone might have some suggestions on reducing loads.

We're running vbulletin 3.6.x with the Thanks and Show friends on profile hacks.

2,000,000+ posts, 45,000+ users.

We've disabled anything that might affect performance in the core VB settings. At 350 users online we run with loads of roughly 5.0 - 5.0 - 5.0 on average, but anything above that seems to occasionally cause spikes, sometimes as high as 40.0 which slows everything down for a few minutes.

Search is disabled for guests. I think we're still running boolean search, so I'm guessing switching to full text might help. Apart from that, does anyone have any suggestions?

Data usage is 2.5GB, Index 250MB (although we need to reindex), Linux server, MySQL 5.0.21, PHP 4.3.11.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, you have install in hosting or a dedicated server?

Please post your server hardware, and let us know if you are on a dedicated plan, the only site or sharing it with other sites of yours. Or, if its a shared hosting.

ps. Raising the amount of RAM usually does the thing. I have a dual opteron server with 4Gigs or ram and with 500 users my server load was never above 1 (lucky me huh?)

I'll see whether I can get the server details from our IT people.

It's a dedicated server owned by the company.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
