Hi
I'm about to install one of the more mature freebie PHP forums on one of my sites - either Invision or PHPBB, specifically. I like them both.
I was wondering though - which one is less of a resource hog on the server side, in terms of MySQL usage, potential CPU loads etc, given that these issues are pretty important on Dathorn :-).
I've used both forums across many other sites as a user, so it seems that they are about the same in terms of features, usability, stability etc, but what I haven't had experience of is their performance at the back-end.
SO if each was to handle an equal number of users, for arguments sake, which one would leave the smallest performance footprint on a shared server?
Is anyone on Dathorn who has actually run either (or both products) able to comment?
