I was wondering what type of tweaks and optimizations people have made to PHProxy so it uses less bandwidth, resources, and so on. Anyone?
Just a quick thought... What about by enabling GZip compression on the outputted pages? I had a quick look through the downloadable source code for PHProxy and didn't see any. Maybe I missed it. [ Edit: Nevermind, found it there... my bad - sorry ]
GZcompression will cause it to use more resources not less, the amount of data transferred will be the same no matter what, the only thing you can do to improve performance of the machine that the proxy runs, is delete it.
Thanks for the contribution to this thread.. Anyways, I read Zend Optimizer can increase PHProxy's performance - anyone have any experience with this?
Yes.. almost any optimizer will increase the performance. As for GZIP it would lower the bandwidth utilization significantly but would raise the CPU/RAM usage (both are cheap, so not sure if it's worth the trade off)
You can set max_file_size in index.php to a file size in bytes of files which will load. eg 1048576 would be 1mb files can be downloaded, but not above that.
