If you have a lot of users, this may help.

And since you mentioned indexes: This script will add several indexes (including the one from the above-mentioned story) to Geeklog's tables which should speed things up a bit, we hope (this will also be part of the next Geeklog release).

bye, Dirk

After just a few seconds that seems to be cutting at least a second off generation times on all pages!!!

Hi,

the best thing for getting more performance and saving ressources is avoid
using the slow apache webserver.

there exists several fast and small webservers. at this point i can
recommend lightthttpd for personal sites and for professional services the
premium thttpd from sascha schumann.

lighthttpd: http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/lighttpd/

Here is a compare of both:
http://schumann.cx/gbit_deathmatch.txt

ATM i have running lighthttpd on several computers with vhosts. Before i
used apache 1.3.x (because apache 2 is still unstable with php) and i
recognized 20-40% of performance increasement with less use of memory
and cpu. (apache runs without output compression, lightthttpd runs with
output compression)

just a my 2 cents, maybe somebody finds this links useful.

regards,
kosch

Your results are flawed. A person can easily enable compression on Apache too using ini.zlib.output_compression or ob_gzhandler. If a site gets any significant traffic, compressed pages will cause the CPU usage to shoot way up and slow the server down to a crawl even on the one you recommend.

Yes, as i said i tested apache+mod_php w/o compression and it is
significant slower and take more cpu/ram then it does with lighttpd _with_
optional compression enabled.

Ok, it has to be said that lighttpd uses fastcgi interface, and like Zeus it
does and it in this way anyway faster than using mod_php in apache.

It was just a hint from me. Its the same like using Tomcat from apache. if you
have enough ram/cpu you can use it... otherwise you would choose Resin or
Jetty...
