I understand that you was already familiar with informations about server load which I gave you. Please note that I have no knowledge about how advanced is each of thousands our users and each time I will give ass complete information as it can be helpful. It doesn't means that I'm treating you as idiot - it means that I care about giving you informations which can be useful for you and evaluation of your server condition. Please point me the other free mod which you are talking about I will gladly make some comparisonAlso any time you are free to choose best solution for you.
I checked your forum again and again it seems to respond very fast. Please give me best time frame to being able to observer what you are writing about your slow responses at peak time.
If you want to check how your traffic changed because of vBET - please generate some report which will show you all the traffic to translated pages - this is what you earned thanks to vBET.
You are absolutely right that translations needs additional resources - there is no other way and you will never find product which will translate your site without any cost. As I already mentioned most time requires waiting for Google translation when it is not cached, and during this time your threads have to wait for response what have biggest impact on server load. You can set bigger cache time to live - then often required translations will be already in cache. But for not cached translations any product will have to wait for translation. There is no other way.
Please note that thinks have to be broken to be able to fix it.
As I already wrote you, we constantly improve vBET performance. And I already wrote you, that we have ready performance improvements which are now on beta stage in vBET4.x. Today we will release new vBET4.x version with additional performance improvements. And when bugs for those (if any) will be corrected we will move those improvements to vBET3.x It is not necessary to push.
Also no one forces you to paid another £300 a month for a server - you are making your own decisions and you have lot of options here. Including decreasing number of supported languages, or even switching to other product which you mentioned is much better. We completely understand that solutions which you are using must fit to your needs and possibilities. We are glad to give our clients better and better product. And we are aware that in situation where request must wait for response form another server your server load will be bigger no matter what solutions we will use. We will be glad if you stay with our product and configure it to fit yo your possibilities. And we will gladly give you a hand in this area
