Memcache performance

Posted by technicalknockout on November 2, 2012 at 5:07pm

Just recently setup new relic for a site and was surprised to see how much of the server's response time is being spent on memcache reads/writes. On a sample response, the breakdown is something like this:

PHP: 312 ms
Database: 143 ms
Memcache: 201 ms
External Web Service: 17 ms

Am I correct in thinking the memcache time is way too high? Or is this similar to other people's experience?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Authcache addons: Authcache actions & Ajax pane

Posted by creaoy on November 5, 2012 at 3:11pm

I would like to share two modules that help a lot with Caching for authenticated users on a website.

Authcache Actions

Is a “Rules” - based module that provides action to clean cache for users with multiple roles for a specific page. Simple instrunctions on how to use this module can be found here Read.me

Why should I use this module?

D6 External vs No Cache Varnish

Posted by couloir007 on November 21, 2012 at 1:23am

A site I manage has recently started misbehaving, and I'm at a loss as to why. With the holiday, I'm looking for a stop gap measure. Basically, it appears that for whatever reason, when the cache expires, Drupal bypasses my panels overides, and dumps out the raw node in all it's unformatted glory. I've reverted the site to it's last known stable release. It's odd, because I'll clear the cache, and without clearing the varnish cache, the site fixes itself, so at least I have some to go on, but in the meantime, I'm trying anything, and everything to come up with a solution for Thanksgiving.

Caching AJAX results

Posted by andy inman on November 21, 2012 at 8:26pm

A while ago I started working on an experimental module to cache the results of standard Drupal FAPI AJAX calls. An example use-case, you have form with a drop-down selector "country" and a second drop-down "city". The contents of the city selector are dependent on the selected country. So, when you change country, the list of relevant cities for that country gets loaded via AJAX. Now, that list is always the same (until a new city comes along or one gets renamed) so can feasibly be cached.

Permission page takes 6 minutes to load, sometimes never save

Posted by jvieille on November 24, 2012 at 5:32pm

I don't know if it is a common behavior, but the permission page does really suck.

My site is quite complex with about 200 contribs, 2000 users, 2000 nodes, the permission page is about 500 rows * 30 roles.
It has not much traffic, and is hosted in a sufficient dedicated server - 12 GB of RAM, 8*2,5 GHz cores.

Any opinion / idea / advice?

Thanks

Pack module

Posted by michee.lengronne on November 26, 2012 at 1:06pm

I would like to know what do we have to install and configure on remote web-servers to use the Pack module on BOA ?

I would like to have the possibility of load-balancing each site I want with BOA.

Thanks.

Improve PHP performance..

Posted by wipeout_dude on December 5, 2012 at 2:34pm

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me to improve the PHP execution performance.. Essentially I am looking for any tweaks to make pages load faster..

The basics are that I have built an in house web based "application" using Drupal.. 99% of the traffic through the site is by authenticated users.. I have tuned up MySQL with enough cache/buffers etc.. I am using nginx for the webserver and php-fpm with APC..
