ive upgrade from 5.45c to 6.03 and i experience dramatic decrease in speed and stability. i know i need to wait for the cache to be built, but are there other measures i can take other than just wait?

is it faster to run the ubb in a Linux rather than NT? coz ive move the UBB from Linux to NT...

pls help... frown
(am i posting in the wrong area?...if so...sorry about that, i cant find a better place..)

Unixes handle high loads with much more grace than NT does...

Personally I feel NT servers are not very good anyways. I mean, no cron? ::shiver::

We've run on NT/Win2K from Day One... if it wasn't for some inexperience on the part of the server admins, we'd never had a day of problems... always been fast, and the cache builds have never been a blip in the speed here... can't say the same for quite a few installs on unix boxes... tipsy

I've seen the same decrease in speed... Drastically.. However I don't see any change in the stability... My solution? Buy a faster machine smile I am running it on mandrake 7.0.... And the cache issue leads me to a question. Does anyone know if I reboot the machine every morning, does it clear the cache out? Or is it just a file cache?

The cache is ONLY cleared when you tell it to through the control panel OR when you change a style template (and only then, only the pages on which the style template is used are de-cached).

We recently identified a major area of code that needs quite a bit of improvement. Look for 6.1.0 to be faster... *and hope...*

Im running on NT to and im impressed with version 6. It initally seemed slightly slower, but then theres more feateures etc.
I also when i first upgraded i kept getting cgi no header errors at inconsistent times on both the new v6 test site and my old v5 board which would disappear after a refresh, since rebooting the server its fine though.

I also cam up with adding a simple font style setting to the td tag. and then lose all the font tags within the tables, and then remoing a lot of apostrpophies. This cuts down a lot of code getting sent to the browser. Not sure how it effects browser compatabity, I run a 4 browser only site and its ok on all the big ones.
