Re: [cobalt-users] php resources compared to perl

["Mez" <mezw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nope the perl script does not use mySQL database currently.
The load on CPU isnt that high constantly, its just when the script.cgi
kicks in - unsure why it does.

The main website gets around 10,000 hits per day, and I only host the
forum - which must be getting a load of users to take up a whole server *g*

ty for advise
