A friend of mine runs a community server that runs various sites. The
server has decent hardware and gets a medium amount of traffic. However,
one of the sites is running a UBB. It's causing a ton of disk I/O,
driving up the load to a consistent 3 or 4. I've tried getting it to run
under Registry as well, with little success. Basically my conclusion was
that it needs a good rewrite, to properly use an SQL database and
caching. Each page should be loading in .01 seconds, not 2-3 seconds. I
believe it was the lastest version that we were working with as well.
UBB is easy to use... to bad the code isn't.
This reminds me of Bugzilla. It is plain nasty to debug and extend that
code, never mind to get it to run under Registry.
