Gars causing high queries ?

[miyukichii]

I am curious does GARS cause server intensity ? How much queries does it eat ?

Turn debug mode on by adding the following to your vB config.php file and then load a page with GARS and look at footer of the page:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;


After which code/line should i exactly add this code ?
And where can i find the debug mode ?

[Morgan]

On a new line after the <?php will do. Afterwards look at the footer on any vB based page.

hi!
i've been wondering the same thing. Every thread in Gars take sup to 20 queries (i've tried removing every customization) and it's still between 19-20 (the main forum display is ok cut it down to 17) but showthread 20 queries? is there any way to cut down? stripping down?

How many queries do you see for showthread that is not a GARS related showthread? Subtract the two numbers. Is that an excessive number? Also, when in debug mode, click the question mark in the 'Queries Executed X (?)' line to see the queries. Are those queries necessary? Are any queries examining a ton of rows? Those are a couple of things to look at when evaluating whether something is running excessive or costly queries.

I did my research right before you Replied and it adds 4 queries.
Is that the standard amount?

A standard Thread is about 13 to 15 queries. But i was just investigating to find out what was causing my loads and it wasn't Gars ;) I'm just trying to cut down on everything that's all...

[Morgan]

It depends but IMO four 'good' queries is not a lot. 'Good' means necessary and doesn't examine a ton of rows. Sometimes two queries are better than one query, but again it all depends.

Yep Cool Thanks
