I have played around with several of the plugins and such. None of them individually cause a slow down, but adding 4 or more starts slowing down everything. I mean everything: the site and the admin interface. Regardless, even a stock WordPress installation chews up a CPU whether using mod_php5 or fastcgi.
My thoughts on writing a WP app in web2py is that I want multi-site out of the box. Point the A record of a domain to the IP of the server and web2py figures out which site you're trying to visit using request.env.http_host and shows that site. Writing my own WordPress is a great way for me to get used to web2py and to see if there's a better way to do things than WordPress. Of course allowing plugins to be written for my app will probably require its own thread to figure out :) On Feb 19, 2011, at 12:09 PM, pbreit wrote: > That doesn't sound right.
