What do you mean "chunked"?
I figured it would be easier to track about 32,000 images in MySQL than in
files, so I setup a test to see what the performance difference is and if
storing in MySQL would actually work.
Everything is working and it's a lot easier to keep track of the images in
MySQL. I ran some performance tests using Apache's ab though and there's a
huge performance difference - 38 times faster grabbing the file.
It could be my test system here at home. I've asked my ISP to upgrade my
production server to PHP5 so that I can run tests from there.
There could also be performance hits in the script that grabs the images
from MySQL, because I tried using OOP. I was told OOP would be a faster
approach, but I'm pretty new to it and may not have done something
correctly. I'm going to create some non-OOP scripts to cross-reference the
tests.
I only have one production server, so I won't be able to separate / dedicate
servers. Your mention of chunking sounds promising though. Actually, I'd
appreciate any ideas or recommendations you have.
Thanks,
Ed
