OSA: vBulletin Optimization

It appears that more than a few members host their forum(s) at ASO. I found in their forum this thread about vBulletin Optimization: http://forums.asmallorange.com/index.php?showtopic=268

Has anyone implemented these suggetions and is there a noticable difference?

Not me - Ive read the post and to be honest, havent had the time.

BTW - IM on ASO's new Virtual Server. (I'm one of the beta testers) Im just getting started but will post info once I have a little experience. As always, I'll post what I find out.

What the heck is a virtual server?

That term makes no sense to me, especially when I break it down by definition.

Hmm, This (http://ev1servers.net/english/vpsinfo.asp) is an explination of a VPS :)

Save a little time...

A VPS behaves exactly like an isolated stand-alone server
Appears to have its own processes, users, files and provides full root access
Each has its own IP addresses, port numbers, tables, filtering and routing rules
Each could have its own configuration files for the system and app software
Each could have its own versions of system libraries
Each could delete, add, modify any file, including files in /root, and install its own application software or custom configure/modify root application software
