using up to 100% cpu

[johnmck]

I've cmsms installed on our local server here.

Just looking at cpu usage when we load a page. It jumps to 100% for a second! Worrying if we install this on a website with alot of traffic - any hints on how we can lower this?

has anybody else experienced this - what are your views / solutions

If your server doesn't have much else going on, the OS will give all the CPU's attention to PHP, MySQL, and your web server. If it's busy with many tasks, it will allocate the CPU appropriately. I have run CMSMS in large shared hosting environments (hundreds of web sites on a single server) and have never had a problem.

Hi,
ok I've just been told by my hosting company

We could find from the resource logs that your domain is trying to access more server resources which is preventing the sites form loading fine. Please take note that we have custom scripts in place that kill off all processes/scripts that are trying to use more resources.

What can I do?

Hello,

I agree with Tim. You'd be angry if the system allowed only 1% of the CPU to PHP/SQL with it has nothing else to do.

About your warning : your ImageManager is using a lot of memory. May be thumbnails computing ?
You can try to use lighter pictures.
