I really like the speed of this new forum software. It seems much faster than the old GT forum and faster than other forums I visit.
My question is, why is this so? Is it because it's using MySQL?
Also, how much additional server load will a forum add to a website?
The LinksSQL site I run must remain extremely fast, as well as other MySQL based searches on the same server. I'm very wary about adding new features if it will mean slowing down the server. I'm running Linux with only 128 MB of RAM and it's plenty speedy now.
Any input is greatly appreciated,
Bryan
