UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 Bug Reports Server Load Probs . .

Just went to your forums. You have the myshoppingboards. One thing is that version 4.1.1 that you are currently running there didn't have as many features so the number of sql queries is much less then what goes into 5.1.2. Plus I think 4.1.1 was still single language which was a bit quicker than the multiple language support.

It's true that persistant connections will help, but I don't think it's a matter of just the PHP version causing the load I think it's just jumping from 4.1.1 to the latest version adds a ton of new features and along with those features comes some extra queries. Which is why you were seeing such a high process useage from mysql. You guys get a ton of traffic. What type of server config do you have? I mean do you have a seperate box for the mysql server or is it on the same box as the web server? Most of our high traffic customers end up splitting the load by running mysql on a dedicated server while the webserver is on another one.
