Hi there,

My photo galleries are on a dedicated server hosted by servermatrix.

On days I get listed by World sex and other big tgp’s, the thumbnails on my galleries often load very slowly, especially when the stats programs (urchin) are about to run.

What’s the reason for this? Is it simply a matter of extra memory? (At the moment I’ve got 1 gig of RAM).

Or has it got something to do with the Apache server configuration?

The guys at Servermatrix are not sure themselves what’s the cause of the often bad performance.

According to some it’s simply a matter of insufficient memory (at the moment the server has 1 gig of RAM) while others say that the performance of the server will improve by changing the Apache configuration.

What do you think could be the reason? Any ideas how I can improve the performance of the server?

Greetz,

Abra,

PS I’m pretty sure it’s not insfufficient bandwith
