Hey All.

I am running VB 1.1.3 on my server. I am finding now that my site is getting quite busy that the load on the server is VERY high.

--------------------------

load averages: 3.99, 3.18, 2.75 15:16:56
137 processes: 4 running, 132 sleeping, 1 stopped

Memory: Real: 94M/128M Virt: 144M/737M Free: 81M

-------------------------

note that some of the HTTPD processes are taking up a unheard of amount of memory.

I am wondering, if I update to 1.1.5 will this help the load on the server drop a lot? The site is slowing to a crawl..

You should post this info, along with your my.conf file in the server configuration section of this forum so they can help you optimize your server.

1.1.5 does have some major optimizations from what I understand so I'm sure that will help quite a bit too!

1. 1.1.5
