LSNet Web Server Optimization

Using Drupal, web pages are constructed from content stored in a MySQL database. We increased the space allocated to caching SQL queries until new queries stopped forcing old queries out of cache.

This process is controlled by PHP code. PHP is an interpreted language which means the source code is parsed and translated into "opcodes" which are then executed. We implemented XCache which saves the opcodes in a cache much like the MySQL queries. .

My thanks to Steve Brown at HotDrupal.com for prodding this effort.
