cBot size on VPS latency
16 Mar 2022, 12:40


Hi,

Does the size of the cBot (mine 500MB) has an effect on the speed or the latency of the VPS? Does a heavier cBot means a slower VPS? Is it an advantage to have a lighter cbot? Thank you.

Best Regards,

Florent

Obviously it could depending on what your cBot does.

For instance - latency. Does your cBot continuously make big network calls sending and/or receiving huge amounts of data across the network? If so, then duh... obviously it could affect latency.

Your cBot could be 1Gig in size, but in terms of performance, size doesn't matter ;-) Again, it's what's inside the code that counts. If your cBot is heavily CPU intensive, then duh again... obviously it could affect performance depending on your VPS's configuration (Eg, do you have 2 cores? 4 cores? 8 cores?)

So without posting details of your cBot, there's no "one size fits all answer" to your question.
