I was prepared to start completely from scratch, discarding any result any searchengine would return when people look for existing entries previously found on Alfons&#8217; Doubtful. After all, I figured, there are more important matters than maintaining <a href=\"http:\/\/c2.com\/cgi\/wiki?GoogleJuice\">&#8216;google-juice&#8217; or &#8216;link-credit&#8217;<\/a>. Like getting a life, for example.\n<\/p>\n<p>So, while I was checking out the main systempages of WordPress this morning, checking out the code and inner workings, I wondered why I didn&#8217;t go with another engine, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nucleuscms.org\">NucleusCMS<\/a>. WordPress? It&#8217;s Code-mess. It&#8217;s one giant step in the wrong direction particularly concerning <em>efficiency<\/em>.\n<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s more to that, and that&#8217;s the fable that generating pages on the fly is more efficient than providing static pages.  It isn&#8217;t. No matter what people argue, it isn&#8217;t. Think of it what happens when you press the refresh on this page:  6-10  separate queries are executed and then returned to PHP. Each time.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the hint: if those 6 or 10 queries could be put in one separate query, how many connections do we need to open? If all those 6-10 separate queries were indeed using one connection, how much time would we save if we had our database carefully designed?\n<\/p>\n<p>No wonder people end up with bandwidth problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While rescuing and rebuilding xsamplex here on hoogervorst.ca, I pondered switching to a different weblog engine.
