this forum was said to be around 20 meg about 3 months ago, so a few meg on top. there is roughly 20- 50 on at all times. can dip sometimes. and you can see how many posts, etc it has on the front page. |

i'm trying to find out about big WWF's (if there are any). with the speed problems i'm having i'm concerened about have 200 people online.. i'm over 8k members in a year, my sql db is bout 220 megs.. does anyone know of a big or busy site that runs WWF? i'm worried about it not being able to handle the load and having to migrate to something else... is there a link of "showcase" wwf forums out there? this forum isn't busy enough to show the load.. i know when i switched it iportal (test migration, not going to do it for real i don't think) it was much slower too, but i expected that with the overhead from the extra features... |

You might just be the big guy on the block. There was a thread 3-4 months back by someone who had rewritten a lot of the SQL into stored procs and reduced the number of calls used. IIRC, he claimed significant performance improvements. You may want to try locating that thread and contacting him. He struck me as being helpful and willing to share. -------------

Well my largest forum isn't quite as big as your current; however, I have over 12k members and here are my stats: ================ Launch Date of Site: February 4th, 2004 (244 days of operation) We have 3816 Posts in 662 Topics in 21 Forum(s) Avg Posts Per Day: 15.64 We have 12368 Forum Members Avg New Members per day: 50.64 (excluding today) New Members today (so far): 11 | Yesterday: 40 # of Members Visiting Site Today: 329 (excluding new members) ================= I usually have a minimum of 20 active members showing and have peaked at 150 sustained for over 4 hours. Oh yeah...I guess I should mention that mine is running on Access.  One of the largest WWG's I've seen is the one at www.terminator3.com/forum - www.terminator3.com/forum I did a quick check and the number of posts was ~115k. Of course it is running v6 of the forum and has been there for well over a year. They need to upgrade it desperately, but people are still posting away. ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |

well i searched, but couldn't find anything except a few mentions of default.asp making way to many calls to the database.. i do get crazy amounts of these in my performance monitor: 300,000 lock requests/sec, up to 40,000 index/searches a sec, almost 200 logins/sec & logouts/sec and >90% processor utilization by sql server.. keeps getting worse and worse over time.. new dual P4 server didn't help much either.. |
