In general, shared hosts are best for hosting static content or dynamic content that is accessed very lightly. It also depends on the quality of the host; some will crumple where others would be fine, and some actually have caching built in. Finding a better shared host or a VPS is probably your best option. If you'd rather try to draw water from stones, take a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Aaron_Schulz/How_to_make_MediaWiki_fast or http://mituzas.lt/2007/01/26/mediawiki-performance-tuning/ I would focus on $wgDisableCounters, $wgMiserMode, $wgJobRunRate, $wgUseFileCache, and the system messages; tweaking those things should provide the most benefit. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
