I have just been informed that the forum on my site has been shut down by our host due to their claim that it was hogging the majority of the CPU time on a shared server. I have been told that I have to move to a dedicated server which I cannot afford.
My question is just how CPU intensive is Gossamer Forums? I have four individual forums with 550 registered users and around 6000 posts in 7 months. This works out to about 25 posts per day and there are ususally no more than 7 to 10 simultaneous users.
There is only one recent incident that I can think of that may be causing a problem. Recently, I tried to install the "Poll" plugin. I thought I made all of the script changes recommended in the installation guide. However, it never worked. The script mods are still there, since they did not appear to cause any damage. Could this be the cause of increased CPU usage or is Gossamer Forums just a CPU intensive application?
