[pLog-general] Your thoughts on 1.1

[michael]

Well, it takes 5-10 seconds to load admin pages.  
And, the lag and large mem usage of plog 1.0 has already been discussed
so I don't think I have a unique situation.  

Its mostly admin area.  I might try removing some plugins.  If a plugin
is not enabled, does it still use system resources?

 	Do you have a side by side comparison of the two?
This is completely not what I have seen.

Compare this server: http://snurgle.org/~jondaley/plog/ (plog 1.0.1
trunk, 
a machine heavily loaded with 20 users actively logged in most of the 
time, uptime generally reports 3 to 4) running over a 768kbps DSL line)

to this machine: http://sca.salemsattic.com/ (plog 0.3.2, no idea about 
the machine specs, network connection is much faster than 768kpbs)

When I upgraded snurgle, the speed increased.  I don't have numbers to 
support that, only a feeling.  The machine has: 400Mhz intel processor, 
512MB RAM, 5 apache processes, taking 60MBs currently.  With the 218 
processes and 23 users currently using it, I would think if any 
machine would be slow running plog, it would be this one.
