Maybe It’s OK That Wordpress Kill Your CPU

Jeff Atwood writes about WordPress performance. Quite astonishing - it appears to be that if your blog is medium sized (or bigger) you must install WP-Cache in order it will survive traffic peaks and doesn’t kill your server.

When I read it, my first though was: “too bad they though that fancy control panel is more important the performance.”, but then I though of something else - maybe avoiding performance issues and dealing with other stuff before that, that’s more user targeted thinking of features: most Wordpress users are small bloggers (like me (-:) and therefore they need better UI experience than caching, while the big fish can handle the extra hassle of installing WP-Cache or paying for a dedicated server.

Think of that next time you decide which feature to implement first. Remmeber - listen to your users, not your engineers
