MyChat & high server load

[Krazas]

When the plugin was available for staff only, the forum was running smoothly, but each time I enable it for all users it takes over 20 seconds to load a page and new shouts won't appear. This happens when I enable MyChat on Board Index. When it's opened in a new tab/window, it doesn't lag.

Code:

The contents of this section are hidden from your usergroup.

Register

[Echo]

What volume of users do you have on your site at anyone time ?

[Krazas]

Do you mean this?

& I set MyChat to be invisible for guests.

[Echo]

Is that normal ? 400 Guests ?

[Krazas]

Yes, forum is enabled to be viewed by guests, so most people that are just looking for information, but don't want to discuss don't even create an account.

[Echo]

So dont allow guests to see your shoutbox. That will reduce the load.

[Krazas]

But it's disabled for guests (group 1). Guests can only view forums, not sb.

[Echo]

Ok so there must be something up with the setting. I'll have to look at that. In the mean time maybe disable it from the index untill I can take a look at this.

[Krazas]

Thanks. I've already removed it from Index.

Have you found anything that could be causing this? :x
