**cmedia** · 03-10-2009, 12:36 PM

Hello,

I reach 8.000 / 9.000 visit / day and vshare struggle the cpu consume.

I already delete periodically the guest_info database...

Install eAccelerator and turn on keepalive connection will help to reduce the server load?

Any other suggestion to reduce the server load?

thank you.

In version 2.6, this will not benefit you as the code is encrypted with Zend (which works similar to eAccelerator). eAccelerator will not do anything with Zend encoded files. In 2.7, this will probably help. As for the keepalive, you will want to set that as low as possible as the longer you have the keepalive set, the longer Apache will hold its connections.
