Re: A New Way to Scout

Caching. My personal server (which runs primarily team stuff) is borrowed from a friend and getting near 10 years old, so the bottleneck is the CPU with modern content; as such, I have as much cache as I can on everything.

I'm running several PHP-heavy sites (in Apache, nonetheless); both internal documentation for the team and a Moodle for our safety training. Neither are lightweight.

I could probably cut it down a bit (I haven't banished XFCE yet because I've had other priorities), but I have significantly more productive things to do with my time than optimize my RAM usage when there's still plenty free. I optimize the CPU usage and make sure nothing ever gets swapped first.
