Low Memory system.module for Drupal 6.10

Wesley Tanaka — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 06:47:49 +0000

I have created a low memory version of system.module for Drupal 6.10 which can be found here. I found it gave a modest performance improvement with low load performance testing on my development machine. Where it shines is under high load relative to tight memory conditions.

With ab -c 100 -n 1000 http://example.com/user on a real site, applying this patch gave somewhere around an 18% reduction in average time per request.

Scaling up Drupal

gili — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 19:47:10 +0000

Hi,
I wonder, how much can I scale Drupal? How can it be done?
I mean, can it Support 50,000 users with 20,000 using it concurently. In that respect, can it build site like LinkedIn with milions of users?
If it does scale up as CMS can it also be used as development framework to build heavy proprietary applications that are used by such large number of usres?

Thanks,
Gili

Slow loading module list page

kilemol — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:36:07 +0000

Number one:

On the module list page count of SQL queries more than 1000.

In sources I find this:

  drupal_rebuild_theme_registry();
  node_types_rebuild();
  menu_rebuild();
  cache_clear_all('schema', 'cache');

I suggest to add check:

if ($form_state['post']) {
  drupal_rebuild_theme_registry();
  node_types_rebuild();
  menu_rebuild();
  cache_clear_all('schema', 'cache');
}

After this, queries count bring down to 100+

Number two:

file menu.inc

    foreach ($menu_links as $item) {
      $existing_item = db_fetch_array(db_query("SELECT mlid, menu_name, plid, customized, has_children, updated FROM {menu_links} WHERE link_path = '%s' AND module = '%s'", $item['link_path'], 'system'));
      if ($existing_item) {
        $item['mlid'] = $existing_item['mlid'];
        // A change in hook_menu may move the link to a different menu
        if (empty($item['menu_name']) || ($item['menu_name'] == $existing_item['menu_name'])) {
          $item['menu_name'] = $existing_item['menu_name'];
          $item['plid'] = $existing_item['plid'];
        }
        $item['has_children'] = $existing_item['has_children'];
        $item['updated'] = $existing_item['updated'];
      }

Choosing a Hosting Company

blueblade — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:34:52 +0000

Hi All,

I am planning to order a virtual dedicated server service plan from APThost.com but I have just found that they do host porn sites with their services. I am wondering if this will affect google's indexing for my site. Please share with me your experiences if you have used their services before. Recommendation of other hosting companies also welcome. (I like apthost.com because they offer very good price and also read some good comments on their services from other rating websites)

Thanks =)

mengweifu1985 — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 03:03:18 +0000

i read Pro Drupal Development book , i see

Since Drupal still uses the LOCK TABLE command with InnoDB tables, be sure to disable autocommit

but, i can't login my drupal site , why? like 'select' is good ,but insert,set,delete is incorrect .
i from china .sorry just a lot english , somebody help me? thanks

Indexing and scaling a Drupal site with 160,000 mySQL database items

jduster — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:43:56 +0000

We have a new Drupal website at www.contentrealtime.com On our test site (not yet moved to live BETA) we have now added 160,000 records to our MySQL database in the form of eBook data elements (that can be searched, displayed and purchased). We have run into serious "SLOW PERFORMANCE" issues, both the main page of the site and any search we do. Any thoughts on how to tweak indexes or have Drupal respond reasonably to such a database record size? The Admin shows all items are indexed. Anyone sized a server to run this type of database with a Drupal website?

Respond to jim@contentrealtime.com or jduster@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Assuming you are using using the core modules.
Thanks.
