Drupal as a development framework

Posted by James Dey on June 3, 2009 at 7:55pm

Hi Everyone,

It has been many years since I have posted on the Durpal forums, and as many years since I have used Drupal. For the past 8 years we have been developing our e-learning and corporate communication system on a PHP framework established in 2001 and recent developments have brought me back to Drupal.

Proof of Concept: code generation module

Posted by casey on June 4, 2009 at 2:51pm

Hi,

I've been testing some code generation techniques for Drupal; I created a module that copies the code of your drupal installation to a temporary directory. First it splits all functions and class into seperate files. Then it modifies the function calls so that functions gets loaded when needed.

It will decrease memory usage a lot! Especially when a great number of modules are installed.

captcha module [version 5] leads to increase the query

Posted by navaneeth_r on June 5, 2009 at 1:48pm

We have News site with lots of hits per day. So we are decided to optimize the code for anonymous user. We logged the query list of all pages, then we confirmed that all pages are retrieved from performance cache except the node page. The same bunch of queries repeated twice in the node page. In our node page we have some custom blocks, node comments and captcha.
Then I take the following steps to find the cause.
Removed the block from the node page --- No improvement
Enabled the block to the node page and disabled the comment module ---- No improvement

Boost Module - Delete file or truncate file size to 0?

Posted by mikeytown2 on June 8, 2009 at 10:04am

Have another idea for the boost module, use the -s flag instead of -f in RewriteCond.

apc.stat performance impact

Posted by jax on June 25, 2009 at 2:29pm

The APC documentation says about the apc.stat option:

On a production server where you rarely change the code, turning stats off can produce a significant performance boost.

Did anyone ever benchmark this and cares to share the results?

Serious serverload issue with Drupal

Posted by hypertext200 on July 1, 2009 at 3:15am

I'm having serous issue with private file transfer, I have about 50 thousand images added to the system and all transfer via drupal private file system. I have about 2lks users and when about 200 online, average server load about 30-40, its heavy load to server, I'm running my mysql server on localhost, what should I do to increase performance?. its taken about 20s to load a single page, about 20 mobule installed with views , cck etc.
I recently installed boost module but still the server load is heavy. What should I do?

Best method of caching complex data generated from nodes?

Posted by raintonr on July 2, 2009 at 6:42am

Not sure if the title is good enough to describe this problem, but here goes...

I've had some small input into the KML module (http://drupal.org/project/kml). This generates KML (Google Earth) files which show placemarks for content with locations. While rather cool this can be very slow when you have many nodes with location information.

APC installing

Posted by hypertext200 on July 6, 2009 at 6:36am

Do we need to use cache_router to install APC cache?. If not how can we install and tweak performance on Drupal.

Very generic performance question

Posted by djudd on July 7, 2009 at 3:17pm

On September 1st I will be rolling out our new website, which is a Drupal 6.13 engine, to replace our existing site.

I'm using the normal goodies, Views, Panels, Organic Groups, SimpleNews, Advertising, etc... Our site currently does about 8,000 unique visitors a day, and about 1 million page views a month. So it's not exactly a "high performance" site, but it takes some traffic.

I will be using a GoDaddy dedicated server package when we go live, since we just don't have the budget for traffic shapers, load balancers, dedicated lines, etc...
