mike I've never had much issue with woo for small shops... that said I'd never touch jetpack with a barge pole. Maybe that's the resource hog? (That's one of the reasons I won't use it)
Since most of the shop side can't really be fully cached any large throughput shops would eat cycles pretty fast. Poor coded plugins won't help either. LSCache does support private user caching which might help somewhat.
JohnB That's because it's the monopoly for WP. Depending on the need, you could offer simple digital downloads with something like easydigitaldownloads or even straight up Paypal Buttons or Stripe Checkout? Else Presta Shop detached maybe? (never used it, just spitballing alts for you)
JohnB Clockspeed > # Cores. PHP is single threaded. Throughput scales with how fast you can complete the thread over the number of threads. Like anything it's a balancing act. I'd say 3.8GHZ is a pretty good target where possible if you must scale out laterally via cores. Below that and I am not interested, rather less cores.
Unless..... You're Zoinkies with 6+ GHz 😂
Zoinkies That's a little monster, I bet getting water cooling certified was a PITA. Surely it's a power hog? How does the E core / P core hold up for PHP threads?
