I want to install bbpress but I am considering server load, so can anyone tell me if 1.0.2 in terms of server load is “heavier” than 0.9?

Thank you.

Heavier, yes. Will the average user notice, no.

[@kevinjohngallagher Member 15 years ago]

It is, by about 50%.

That said, no version of BBpress is particularly heavy on the processor

[@johnhiler Member 15 years ago]

Yes, 1.0 has a dramatically higher load.

I’m running 9 0.9.x bbPress installs along with a WordPress install on a single machine that’s doing around 10mm pageviews a month. If I was using the 1.0 branch, I don’t think I could come close to that.

I’ve tried both 0.9.06 and 1.02 and didn’t notice much of a difference. I stuck with 0.9.0.6 simply because there are more plugins available.

Hey citizenkeith… do you have bbPress benchmark installed?

I’d be interested in the number of queries/output time for your installs… I’ve seen a 10x speed difference in test installs and am wondering how common that is!

John: Here are two active forums, one running 0.9.0.6 and one running 1.02. That latter is integrated with WP. Each install is on a different shared web host.

Running 0.9.0.6 on Hurricane Electric “Starter Virtual Host”

0.075 – 12 queries

0.518 – 16 queries

0.406 – 16 queries

0.334 – 15 queries

Running 1.02 on Media Temple Grid Service

0.580 – 21 queries

0.447 – 18 queries

0.376 – 16 queries
