If a method can be static, declare it static. Speed improvement is by a factor of 4. | 2. echo is faster than print. | 3. Use echo's multiple parameters instead of string concatenation. | 4. Set the maxvalue for your for-loops before and not in the loop. | 5. Unset your variables to free memory, especially large arrays. | 6. Avoid magic like __get, __set, __autoload | 7. require_once() is expensive | 8. Use full paths in includes and requires, less time spent on resolving the OS paths. | 9. If you need to find out the time when the script started executing, $_SERVER[&lsquo;REQUEST_TIME&rsquo;] is preferred to time() | 10. See if you can use strncasecmp, strpbrk and stripos instead of regex | 11. str_replace is faster than preg_replace, but strtr is faster than str_replace by a factor of 4 | 12. If the function, such as string replacement function, accepts both arrays and single characters as arguments, and if your argument list is not too long, consider writing a few redundant replacement statements, passing one character at a time, instead of one line of code that accepts arrays as search and replace arguments. | 13. It's better to use select statements than multi if, else if, statements. | 14. Error suppression with @ is very slow. | 15. Turn on apache's mod_deflate | 16. Close your database connections when you're done with them | 17. $row[&lsquo;id&rsquo;] is 7 times faster than $row[id] | 18. Error messages are expensive | 19. Do not use functions inside of for loop, such as for ($x=0; $x &lt; count($array); $x) The count() function gets called each time. | 20. Incrementing a local variable in a method is the fastest. Nearly the same as calling a local variable in a function.</p>https://mostlycopyandpaste.com/articles/2007/10/xen-cluster-management-with-ganeti-on-debian-etch-howtoforge-linux-howtos-and-tutorials/Tue, 09 Oct 2007 10:00:00 -0800https://mostlycopyandpaste.com/articles/2007/10/xen-cluster-management-with-ganeti-on-debian-etch-howtoforge-linux-howtos-and-tutorials/<p>| <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/ganeti_xen_cluster_management_debian_etch">Xen Cluster Management With Ganeti On Debian Etch | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials</a> | Ganeti is a cluster virtualization management system based on Xen.

Fortunately, Apple has made this very easy. The only thing you have to do is to add the application(s) of your choice to the /Applications -&gt; Utilities folder of the installation CD/DVD. After that, boot from the copy of the DVD, and in addition to the usual utilities, (for instance) the Terminal will appear in the list of commands you can execute if you added it before. I find that really useful, because if something goes wrong, the underlying Unix commands are most times able to fix it.</p>https://mostlycopyandpaste.com/articles/2004/08/processor-speeds-and-memory-explained/Mon, 02 Aug 2004 10:00:00 -0800https://mostlycopyandpaste.com/articles/2004/08/processor-speeds-and-memory-explained/Confused by some of them fancy processor names and memory specs when shopping for a new computer?
