DLE Heavy cpu load

[BlaZe]

I had the similar problem with rapidscene.ws

It was running on 1GB RAM VPS and the memory usage was just 300MB but the CPU Load was 2-3.

Then I tried tweaking my.cnf and installed eAccelrator, Memchace, etc. but it didn't help much. I asked XSLTel to see if he can do it and KABOOM ! He optimized the server within 12 minutes (exact).

I asked him what he did, and the reply was that he changed the PHP Apache Handler and installed PHP-CGI Handler and since then the load hasn't gone over 0.5 and my VPS hasn't been down (its been 2 month without 0 downtime)

BlaZe Reviewed by BlaZe on 22nd Jun 2011. DLE Heavy cpu load Hi, i am running a DLE portal. It have around 700K posts on it and its taking a lot of resources. I cannot even run it on a server with 12Gb Ram + quadcore processor. Is there a way to reduce these loads? When i do command "top" on ssh, it shows that mysql is using 300%+ of resources? Rating: 5

Disable :

- online module counter (dle modile with avatars , if u have)
- use gzip compression
- turn off related post module
- turn off archive
- turn off TOP 10 articles

I already tried that.

But 1 thing is that if i use gzip compression then server load increases more because i heard it takes more cpu! However reduces page load time.
But when server load will be high then the response will be slow like hell

Where are the owners of these BIG DLE WEBSITEs..

Would be great if they can advise us..

As much optimisation as you want start from: hxxp: builtwith.cxm
and you will see that the big ones are not using apache.
i'm about to change to nginx as well final tweeking stage.

Is the sourceccode of DLE compatible with nginx? or there is mods to be done?
cheers
