Question for site owner or admin

[bxflow]

Is the shoutbox hard on your server(s). it something that i wonder from time to time. Seems like every time the server is running slow i think about the shoutbox eating up all the resources. Not that its ever the cause.

for what kind of script?

for vbulletin, I wouldnt really say it makes a big difference (well not in my case), I had the CYB shoutbox in a 512mb ram VPS and It really didnt make a difference, Im guessing on shared servers it does.

But alone php chat scripts do consume alot of resources tho
