My forum is slow loading pretty much as said HERE im hoping to increase the load time so help is APPRECIATED

2] Specs are:

cpu speed/type single or dual cpus): Single P4 2.8GHZ with HT
how much memory installed: 2GIG of ram
hard drive type/configuration: 2X 160GB SATA non raid
linux distributor or windows version: CentOS 3.5 i686
apache/IIS version: apache 1.3.34
PHP version: 4.3.11

THANK YOU

1. global
in vb_root/includes/ config.php
usepconnect = 1;

in the php.ini
mysql.allow_persistent = On

2. apache
TimeOut 120
MaxKeepAliveRequests 2000
MaxClients = 250
MaxRequestsPerChild 20000

3. mysql
the first delete all double and three-way entries

key_buffer = 128M
table_cache = 1024
wait_timeout = 90
connect_timeout = 30
query_cache_size = 32M

4. workshop
install http://sourceforge.net/projects/eaccelerator/

kernel 2.6...... install

everything without warranty

reagrds

ragezone.com eaccelerator need not 512mb ram
change it to 36 in your php.ini thats sufficiently

btw: when changes the settings you must restart the services always
