Hi, I've followed the wiki recipe for installing OSQA on Bluehost and gotten it all working nicely. Brilliant stuff, guys!

However, I'm seeing reeeealy looooong delays caused by CPU throttling at Bluehost, and I only have 1-200 visits a day! Is there something in the standard recipe that could be adjusted to keep stuff resident that may not be resident, or turn up caching, or something?

I'm dyin' here -- people won't put up with outrageous delays and will simply stop visiting.

Thanks!

Well, I believe that the reason bluehost is so slow is because you have few visitors :) Blue host works with fastcgi, but they have that set to kill threads after just a few seconds of inactivity, which is not a very good thing. Cache is enabled by default as filesystem cache, you have the option to use memcached, or even local memory (not very recommended though). The problem is that caching is not the issue here, but the fact that a new thread has to start (and the entire app load) every few requests.

Why don't you try to contact bluehost support and explain the problem, and maybe they can tweak your server settings so you got longer living threads.
