DreamHost to reduce CPU minutes cheats

DreamHost CPU minutes problems may be troubling many people, there are many people for this reason was DreamHost stopped the account, so how to quickly reduce the CPU minutes has become the use of DreamHost an important link. After continuous testing and adjustment, I found a simple and effective way to reduce dreamhost CPU Minutes, modify a configuration can easily reduce the CPU Minutes, after my test, the maximum can be reduced by about 50% CPU Minutes, the effect is very obvious.

The specific method is, in the DreamHost panel console, select Domains-manage Domains, select a domain name, edit the site, in PHP version here, modify the site of the PHP versions of the type, it from PHP 5.2.X modified to PHP 4.4. X, in this way, the site will use PHP4 instead of PHP5, after my test, the use of PHP4 after the site will greatly reduce the CPU, good luck words may be reduced by about 50% of the CPU resources, a solution to the problem of high CPU use.

Why is that so? I guess PHP5 is faster than PHP4, so it consumes more CPU resources, so using PHP4 is slower, but consumes less CPU.

If your site traffic is very large, consumes a lot of CPU, then you might as well test this method.
