I have been having server issues lately, site is growing, 1000 simultaneous users at times. So I've been looking at many things that will maximize efficiency of Vbul.
I was in the middle of editing a template and as always saw an include for an image that is shown dozens of times when a user loads a single page that looks like this "$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/"
I know this gets the url from the settings, my question and possible way to speed up Vbul, if I went through templates replacing instances where the template is creating this extra query (if it is) with http://mysite.com/images/theimage.gif, its just one direct hit to the image without anything needed to be done via PHP. Multiply this by dozens and dozens of template images and hundreds of users, does this mean PHP is making server work many times more simply because template is calling for the root url to be displayed many extra times? Does it even matter?
Am I right or wrong about this, or do you think Vbulletin has this covered already. Any thoughts?
