Obviously, you don't know what you are talking about. It just takes common sense to know beforehand this is going to be slow.
Hrm. I don't know what I'm talking about? Of the last three major sites I've worked on they include Care2.com (40m+ page views a month and 6m+ registered users), Enotes.com (15m+ page views a month) and Digg.com (Top 100 site on the net, 1m+ registered users). So, please, educate yourself before you say that I obviously am an idiot. Now, I'll explain myself a bit more. PHP cycles are, in fact, the easiest part of your architecture to scale. File storage is difficult, but possible and DB traffic is a huge PITA to scale. Obviously, his package takes more cycles to run, I wasn't arguing that. The point I was making is that PHP cycles are usually the very last thing that a large site worries about. I could give two shits less about 5 extra PHP calls in my code. Now, 5 extra DB calls are an entirely different story. - --Joe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFGO1jUh0MUGpYY9OQRAi0jAJ92rtUTcxKpZ3inDoGhOnq3tDPK/wCgj70U X2dMIxDzOJBfI4CxbGHHNS0= =SlBN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
