Hey Dave, just had a few questions regarding the future of IIP and its speed. Since christmas, my site has experienced "explosive" growth. At least for our site, it has grown more the past two months than it has the previous 6 or 8 months. Anyway, with this growth, I have seen a direct correlation with slower IIP page generation times.
I have a fairly light IIP config as well, but right now I'm seeing page gen. times ranging from 3.5-6.5 seconds, with only 25 queries. I also have all of the options set to increase load time in the config as well. I'm trying not to sacrifice any more pal boxes, but the speed is beginning to slowly get worse.
Around christmas time, it would average around 1.9-2.3 seconds. But has since about doubled. I have been monitoring server loads and such, but for the most part they have been fairly consistient throughout this time.
So, I'm just curious as to whether or not any caching techniques or other optimizations may be on the horizon for IIP Pro? I mean I understand, when you have over 150,000 posts and you are pulling info from them it isn't a painless process. But just wondering if you have found a new way to deal with these issues.
I found most of my users are now bypassing the front page and simply bookmarking the forums. But when the page is averaging 5 or so seconds to load now, with the kind of growth we're seeing, it will be about double that by late spring.
So, just curious is all. Thanks for all the hard work
