I've started optimizing the site so that during the busy season our host won't hate us for using all of the CPU. One thing I've already done is take off the "active users" part of the stats on the teemz home page. (that took about half a second to generate each time).

One of the things I might do is cache pages, that way they aren't generated every time they are accessed but rather every time they are changed (the list pages (like if you went to the games tab and clicked TI-89) take about a second to generate, but that's dumb cause they can only be updated whenever a file is added or renamed).

Edit
I think I found a bug. Here's what this says:

ah yes... i forgot about the top box.

i enabled caching on the list-views. it should work... if it gives you any troubles, let me know. by the way, if you highlight under everything it gives you the amount of time (in seconds) that it took to generate that page... if it's negative, add 1 to it. most of the list pages should be generated in less than 0.1 seconds (from what i've seen they are almost always .085 after they have been cached... except for the REALLY long ones... for some reason if you do a list view for calc=type=cat= (all programs) it takes quite a bit of time...

i think what i'll do is figure out some method of caching the teemz home page... it'll require several tags for things that are constantly updated, but other than that it'll probably update every 10-15 minutes (for things like active users and such)

alright, now the "view all" pages are cached... these don't seem to be MUCH faster... but definitely a little bit faster.

again, tell me if you see any problems.

nice job B. i don't see my difference on the user side but that should definitely cut down on server resources.
