edit] MediaWiki is slow, how can I make it faster?

MediaWiki FAQ - Meta
First you should try a PHP cache engine such as eAccelerator or APC. It will save the parsed PHP scripts and enhance performance a lot (this is something you should use anyway on any PHP installation with non-trivial traffic). Zend Platform also contains a bytecode cache, however its "dynamic content caching" is not supported in MediaWiki at the current time. Memcached will provide some performance benefit, especially for heavily viewed sites.

Inserting and updating records is really slow. Can't it go any faster?

Mckoi SQL Database - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The insert and update operations are actually very fast, however during large batches of database changes most of the work is spent managing transaction and index changes. One way to improve insert and update performance is to turn auto-commit off (it is on by default) and committing the entire batch of insert/update operations in one go. Using this strategy there will be less overhead for index/transaction maintenance and all transaction data is flushed to disk in a single disk write.

The lessons are slow and choppy, how can I make them faster?

Support FAQ
Because of the high quality of our lesson videos, you will need a lot of bandwidth to play them. Every ISP has fluxuation with their bandwidth so sometimes the videos make be slow and choppy. If that happens you can switch to a progressive format. A progressive format will buffer a portion of the lesson on your hard drive, before it starts playing. So when you do play the lesson, you are playing it from your hard drive, so the lessons will run normally.

Will Sports Massage really make me stronger or faster, or increase my performance?

LA Sports Massage FAQ
Yes, in an indirect way. Sport Massage tweaks your body to a state of higher efficiency so that you can get an extra 20% more - more speed, more strength, more performance. Sports Massage breaks down muscle adhesions, relieves knots, increases range of motion, decreases pain, increases circulation, stretches tight muscles, reduces stiffness and generally reduces the negative after effects of hard training. This means you can train harder than you ever have before.

Can TNG be used to put my genealogy on a CD? Can it make a book?

The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding: FAQs
Since TNG requires PHP, MySQL and a web server, it will not work on a CD. Besides, making a static CD defies the whole premise of TNG, which is to make your genealogy dynamic. As for making books, TNG does not have a specific "Create Book" function, but you may certainly print off your web pages and form them into a book. I know of people who have done that.

What is TNG?

Whippersnappers - an Atlanta BDSM group :: Charter & FAQ
TNG (The Next Generation) was originally started as an adjunct to the Washington D.C.-area BDSM group, Black Rose. TNGs are being formed in other areas as subsets of larger groups that offer their support to people entering the lifestyle. We think Atlanta should be a part of this trend! We encourage our members to take part in the leather community as well: we attend classes, events, and other activities within various leather groups.

My CDROM drive is really old and slooow. Is there some way to make this go faster?

Civil War Reader Technical FAQ
We tried it out on an 8x CD drive and it seemed pretty good to us. Still, if you like, you can create a new directory on your pc, copy all of the files from the CD to your harddrive and read them from there. If you have a particularly slow CD drive this may result in better performance.

Clipping should only make things faster, right?

Frequently Asked Questions
The cairo_clip function can be used for two different operations. The first is to restrict the set of pixels that need to be updated, (imagine needing to draw only half of a window that was just uncovered by another window). While the second is to modify what is being drawn with some non-pixel-aligned shape (imagine a circular clip path, for example). These two uses result in very different code paths inside cairo and in the underlying window system.

Can I make my scooter go faster?

Frequently Asked Questions
gt;>> A. All scooters can be made to go faster. First, it's critical to know if your scooter has a 2- stroke or 4-stroke engine.

Essentially, you need to improve fuel, air and exhaust flow.

The simple answer is to install a faster engine, a two-speed transmission or a tuned pipe and header set. This is the easy answer if all you want to do is drag race or go fast in a straight line. If you race on a road course track, you will have to learn how to tune the car to handle turns better so you can get more laps during a heat or main event.

General Questions Q50 How do I make VNC go faster?

VNC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We find VNC to be perfectly acceptable as our normal method of accessing Unix desktops on a daily basis. This is over a 10 Mbit/s ethernet on reasonably modern machines, using the X or Win32 viewer. Because Windows gives us fewer hints about what it's doing, and because we don't have the source code for Windows in the same way that we do for X, the WinVNC server has to work harder to find out what's changed, and so a really fast machine should make a big speed difference.

How do I make Windows XP run faster?

Windows XP Professional FAQ
The new smooth blue or green wrapping on the Start menu, Task Bar, and on all of the windows are part of the new visual design for Windows XP.
