Ok seems the webmasters Ive been wanting to talk to are back home now after the weekend..
Here's another guy who runs similar scripts as me and also has more traffic and has dealt with this..
Again another apporach..
But intresting..
"Another Webmaster (12:16 AM) :
yo dude, I see your multiple category topic at gfy is still going strong1 server for ucj/html/category pages.
I have dual cpu's and 2 gig of mem on all my servers by the way.....single cpu just isnt strong enough
1 server for movie thumbs
1 server for pic thumbs
all 3 are dual cpu + 2 gb ram....that's the only way to go if you want your servers to be very very fast. those 3 sites have around 1.1 million visitors a day in total
Another Webmaster (12:16 AM) :
by the way, buying seperate servers for the thumbs really DID solve our problems :-)
I'm not sure how your script is written but it completely solved our speed problem....I have like 12 servers now so I know what I'm talking about :-D
Boneprone (12:19 AM) :
ahh. Yeah, so the thumbs really do take a lot of apache?
Another Webamster (12:19 AM) :
yeah, for us it did + buying a dual cpu also made a huge difference
