What we have to think about is:
1. are there any scripts running a cronjob being launched in the evenings and using resources?
2. bandwidth - is there sufficient?
3. server resource - is there enough memory and processing power?
4. are there unnecessary scripts running in the background?
5. any hanging processors or zombies?
6. too many guests clogging the system? I know this one can't be restricted as we want to encourage people but it does seem that once the guest levels get higher the vine slows.
(before anyone thinks I took a smart pill, this is all from Madmax who is used to running servers for mobile telecomms networks and had similar issues to resolve) |
