The latest dev. version of WordPress (currently heading towards 2.9 Beta 2) is what op109.net uses. With it, the 32MB of memory available to the site were often not enough to do a plugin upgrade. Each time, to get the upgrade to finish successfully, I had to deactivate either one of the five active plugins, or the translation (I use op109.net to test the Greek L10n of WordPress).

What the comparison showed:

The numbers

I tried each of WordPress 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9 Beta 1 with and without the Greek translation and with three different themes: Default, Simplish, and Thematic. In each case only one (1) plugin was active: WP Memory Usage. The numbers in parentheses show the memory usage when the translation was active.

Default Simplish Thematic
WP2.7 17.26MB (19.95MB) 17.16MB (19.83MB) 18.01MB (20.87MB)
WP2.8 23.07MB (28.53MB) 22.97MB (28.43MB) 24.00MB (29.63MB)
WP2.9b1 20.17MB (25.64MB) 20.12MB (25.54ΜΒ) 21.08MB (26.70ΜΒ)

Environment info

SERVER

  • Linux 2.6.18
  • CentOS 5 64bit
  • Apache 2.2.13
  • PHP 5.2.11
  • MySQL 5.0.81

WORDPRESS, THEMES, AND L10N FILES

  • WordPress 2.9 beta 1 (r12290 from trunk)
  • WordPress 2.8 (r11552 from trunk)
  • WordPress 2.7 (r10188 from trunk)
  • Default theme 2.9 beta 1 (r12290 from trunk)
  • Simplish theme 2.2.2
  • Thematic theme 0.9.6 β 06 (r571 from trunk)
  • Greek L10n 2.9 beta 1 98% complete (r10450 from trunk)

HOSTING

A Small Orange, Tiny Orange shared-hosting package

TOOLS

The RAM numbers are from the WP Memory Usage plugin by Alex Rabe:

wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-memory-usage

Method and other notes

For this comparison I downgraded op109.net via SVN from the latest WordPress trunk (r12290) to WordPress 2.8, then to WordPress 2.7. Then I upgraded again to WordPress 2.8 and finally to the latest trunk (r12290).

I repeated these four steps twice; that is, two runs in total. The numbers in the table are the averages. (MB values varied from 0.00 to 0.09 between the two runs.)

After each downgrade/upgrade WordPress asked me to “upgrade” the database. Interestingly, all eight database “upgrades” went OK and everytime everything seemed to work OK down to WordPress 2.7 (including the themes Simplish and Thematic, which were at their very latest versions, and also a few plugins I tried).

Quick conclusion

See the table! :-) Also, 64bit operating systems eat a lot of memory – but we already knew that. :-D

Φθονῶ τὴν τύχη σας, προνομιοῦχα
πλάσματα, κοῦκλες ἰαπωνικές.
Κομψά, ρόδινα μέλη, πλαστικὲς
γραμμές, μεταξωτά, διαφανῆ ροῦχα.

Ζωή σας ὅλη τὰ ὡραῖα σας μάτια.
Στὰ χείλη, μόνο οἱ λέξεις τῶν παθῶν.
Ἕνα ἒχετ’ ὄνειρο: τὸν ἀγαθὸν
ἄντρα σας καὶ τὰ νόμιμα κρεβάτια.

Χορὸς ἡμιπαρθένων, δύο δύο,
μ’ ἀλύγιστο τὸ σῶμα, θριαμβικά,
ἐπίσημα καὶ τελετουργικά,
πηγαίνετε στὸ ντάνσιγκ ἢ στὸ ὠδεῖο.

Ἐκεῖ ἀπειράριθμες παίρνετε πόζες.
Σὰν τὴ σελήνη πρὶν ρομαντικές,
αὔριο παναγίες, ὅσο προχτές,
ἀκούοντας τὴ «Valenzia», σκαμπρόζες.

Ἕνα διάστημα παίζετε τὸ τέρας
μὲ τὰ τέσσερα πόδια κολλητά.
Τρέχετε καὶ διαβάζετε μετὰ
τὸν ὁδηγό σας «διὰ τὰς μητέρας».

Ὤ, νὰ μποροῦσε ἔτσι κανεὶς νὰ θάλλει,
μέγα ρόδο κάποιας ὥρας χρυσῆς,
ἢ νὰ βυθομετρούσατε καὶ σεῖς
μὲ μία φουρκέτα τ’ ἄδειο σας κεφάλι!

Ἀτίθασα μέλη, διαφανῆ ροῦχα,
γλοιώδη στόματα ὑποκριτικά,
ἀνυποψίαστα, μηδενικὰ
πλάσματα, καὶ γι’ αὐτὸ προνομιοῦχα…
