[wp-hackers] Sites running WP

[David Chait]

if the site in discussion (current or past or future) has a static design 
(no comments, no counts, nothing php-ish only JS dynamic as needed...), it's 
not unimaginable to take the wp-cache plugin and turn it into a mt-like 
wp-2-html plugin.  you'd let the plugin create full html pages, and when 
content is changed in the admin panel hooks would trigger regeneration.

again, that's assuming you aren't using plugins that do 'dynamic stuff' via 
php, like weighted word graphs, traffic tracking, etc.  the moment you do, 
you need to stick with stuff like wp-cache which can allow you to even call 
dynamic code from within cached pages, if needed...

but, yes, with properly tuned apache/lighttpd, mysql, query cache, maybe 
memcached, an opcode cache for PHP, and wp-cache, you can push quite a lot 
of throughput.

| On the sites developed for clients 90% have comment disabled. We
| build the templates custom based on our proposed design. Of the dozen
| sites I created for clients only 2 have comment template code available.
| Of those two, one requested we remove the comment code because of
| spamming.
|
| Our servers are VPS FreeBSD/Linux servers running Apache, MySQL 4.1.
| I have looked

|
| Sounds like I need to setup my own benchmark system with WP and MT
| and run some tests.

| Thanks all for your comments and suggestions. BTW I email the link
