Once 500 IP addresses are in the logs, it's performance has dropped by 50 percent. The performance continues to decline rapidly up to 15,000 IPs. At that point, it is only able to produce 2 requests per second, and has been brought to it's knees. If you want to run a serious top list, you would not want to be stuck with this software package. One thing that often gets overlooked is the outgoing hit tracking scripts.
Many people feel the only important ones are the incoming hit trackers - they're dead wrong.
While the outgoing scripts are much more simple, they still require CPU time to process. You are going to want something that is quick and efficient. Have a look at the graph to see how our software, and our competitor's, performed. These benchmarking results are a little easier to read. Since the outgoing scripts don't keep track of IP addresses, they are not affected by the size of the IP logs.
