Reply To: BBPress for HUGE forums? Capable?
Based on my experience.. my advice to big forums is to use opcache + apply 1925.4.diff patch and be careful with long threads and too many topics under the same group/section.
I have a website that is 1 yo but already have 27 million posts and is only online because of the 1925.4.diff that bbpress staff/helpers provided here: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1925
(BTW Thank you @netweb for looking at this ticket)
Even with the patch… I have some trouble with long threads using too much cpu… so I’m always closing threads because of that.
I also got in trouble with high cpu load when we have too many topics under the same forum… because of this problem.. from time to time I create new forums and make the old one a “museum”.
My CPU consumption usually varies from 8 to 30. 40-50 on peak days.
Without doing this “hacks” my website can’t survive… because the cpu consumption goes up to 500 until everything crashes.
