New lows for vBulletin
It doesn't tell you anything useful, like database queries or load times -- it only tells you stuff like the number of ajax requests or what templates were loaded.
Currently beta 11 requires between 94 to 101 Asserts to display a thread. This is an improvement from beta 10 which required 110 Asserts.
Apparently the developers have made improvements in beta 12 and beta 13, we'll see.
So they reduced up to 15% of the queries needed? Let's not forget where the benchmark is...around 6-8
vBulletin 5 beta 11 requires between 94 to 101 Asserts to display a thread. This is an improvement from beta 10 which required 110 Asserts.
vB4 takes about 14 queries to display a thread.
Important comparison issues: # of mods installed.Just turned debug mode on my one IPB site. It is 8 queries to show the main forum index page and 103 queries to show a thread that is 123 pages.
I don't have any cache turned on other then the built in IPB stuff.
Stock install? No mods?
I just checked my XF site, forum index is 11 queries and thread view is 11 queries on a one page thread.
IPB - 123 queries for page 2 with a topic containing 400 posts and 61 followers. Do note: While navigating to next/previous pages count is 18-23.
Just checked a 38 page thread and it was still at 11 queries.
I just saw Paul M's Area 52, which is running VB5 Beta 14. It has Debug on, so you can see that they have reduced it to 60 queries. Still too (too!) many for an empty site but I guess it can be called an improvement.
The feeling I get right now from VB is that they are indeed focusing on performance, which is a good thing. Whether the architectural design of the software is capable of getting down to XF level of performance, I do not think so.
other comparison issues: quality of the query. (There are queries that are more "expensive" than others !)I've seen it stated Xenforo has as low as 6-7 queries.
Query count -
vBulletin 5 beta 11 - 94-101 queries
vBulletin 5 beta 10 - 110 queries
vBulletin 4 - 14 queries
Xenforo 1.1x - 6-8 queries?
Anyone know what the latest IPB needs ?
is Xenforo around 6-8 ?
Just turned debug mode on my one IPB site. It is 8 queries to show the main forum index page and 103 queries to show a thread that is 123 pages.
I don't have any cache turned on other then the built in IPB stuff.
What is the query count on XenForo to show a thread with say one page only?
Those are merely the success stories we hear. How many failures stories have we heard?
Are we forgetting someone reeeeally really obvious?No one invests in a start up to take it over and depose the people who were the reason one was investing in the first place.
gesundheit / bless you. Hope that cough clears up.coughInternetBrandscough
Replace vB5 Demo with ForumsIt's like forum is a bad word for the vBulletin 5 team.
