I have a web page that runs under PHP. I query a mysql database every 5-10 seconds, with each meta refresh. This was fine and worked decent, until other people started using it. Now the connections have grown to a number that they need to be handled better. I was thinking of creating a daemon that runs every 5 seconds and then populates a flat file that apache/php would read with every refresh thus limiting the load to one connection every 5 seconds.
Does anybody have any better ideas? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
