[wp-hackers] Sites running WP

[Paul Menard]

On the sites developed for clients 90% have comment disabled. We
build the templates custom based on our proposed design. Of the dozen
sites I created for clients only 2 have comment template code available.
Of those two, one requested we remove the comment code because of  
spamming.

Our servers are VPS FreeBSD/Linux servers running Apache, MySQL 4.1.  
I have looked
at some of the WP cache plugins. All seem to have great promise. Just  
had not had the
opportunity to implement.

Sounds like I need to setup my own benchmark system with WP and MT  
and run some tests.

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions. BTW I email the link  
for the Famous Blogs to my
team. All were simply wowed!
