pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Support Forum Now Running v1.5 (17th Jan 08 at 10:44am UTC) | | I've just worked out what version number each update should be known by based on the size of the update (increases by 0.1 for big updates or 0.0.1 for smaller add-ons/bug fixes) and am proud to announce that this support forum is now running v1.5 of our software 
Unfortunately v1.5 does not have any great new features but it does have the basis of a great caching system. The idea of a caching system is to store some generated source code and keep reusing it until it needs to be changed. This cuts down on the number of times the database needs to be queried so should improve performance.
I've set this forum to use the updated source code so that it'll be easier to monitor and adjust this new system in order to give the best possible performance. This should also enable us to find any bugs still in the system nice and early and perhaps identify other areas in need of some optimization.
The areas that are running the new system to various degrees include mini-profiles, the last post column on the main page and topic replies. The data shown in the footer of every page should give you some indication to how well the system is working.
If you continue to get high numbers of database queries on any page then please let me know so I can look at improving that page. Also let me know if any pages are giving peak memory usage of over 1500Kb, current memory usage of over 1000Kb or a loading time of over 1 second. Not all pages which give these will be rectifiable but I will do my best to give the best possible performance so that you can use the fastest possible forums.

pmwww | | Re: Support Forum Now Running v1.5 (17th Jan 08 at 1:07pm UTC) | | It's all looking good so far, not really getting close to the max useage 
Though there's no new features it's still a good update, and gives better running times  | |

Come on Ross. I know you can use less queries.  Link them or something. It'd help a lot. Especially the 81 on the main page. | |

The main page hasn't been properly optimised yet, especially not the board access queries. I'll be doing them some time next week (if I'm feeling better) which should cut a bit off of there. The biggest abuser of queries on the main page is on forums with lots of different users moderating/having the last post but nothing can be done about that without greatly increasing the memory usage. And unfortunately there's about 18 queries which make up the core of the system and which can't be cut down without either losing features or increasing the loading times on other pages. | |
