“I’d say that the best way to cache is bit by bit” -Do you know of any CI Caching Library that does so ?

Very interesting post! I’m curious; won’t having “tons” of benchmark calls slow down the app as well?

Great tips! Thanks so much for sharing. Just about to dig into a project where scalability (in CI) is very important. This was great.

Elliot,

I like the way you set posts out and I enjoyed this post as much as the last. It’s always good to see what other CI users are doing in their applications.

Thanks,
Adam

Great post Elliot.
I will add something about SQL queries: avoid ” select * ” whenever it’s possible. I have seen lot of bottlenecks because of that in php applications whis uses select * always instead of a well designed sql query.

Regards,
Jose

Nice post Elliot.
It is always important to predict a higher level of traffic to an application that first expected.

We recently developed a t-shirt website which was not developed using CodeIgniter, which I usually develop with, due to the other developers on the team.
Now, is now causing a high amount of performance issues which is effecting other sites on the server.

It may be nice to add a little bit about pconnect v’s connect.

Great post! I’m in the process of building a large scale app that will, no doubt, have to scale at some point. These are good things to keep in mind… thanks!
