iTools 7.3 rocks...

I don't know what y'all did to make iTools 7.3, but you did good!

Previously, I had a handfull of sites on my iTools 7.2 server with one site 
being a very very heavy php based site. (no MySQL for this site).... The server 
ran at 100% CPU utilization all the time. I was about to go bankrupt having to 
buy additional hardward and software just to handle another client or two. The 
breaking point came when a new client wanted to launch a php/MySQL application 
and simple writes to a fairly empty database took more time then most browsers 
would wait. Adding a new virtual host -- to the handful that already existed -- 
through the iTools7 Manager took 3 minutes or more.... I'm not kidding. 

Repeated clean installs of the OS and iTools7.2 did not help. 

So with fingers crossed I did an upgrade to iTools7.3 along with the 
appropriate upgrades to the appropriate PHP and MySQL.... now the box is 
smoking and rarely goes above 20% CPU utilization. I'm glad I stuck with iTools 
and waited for v7.3 because for a while there it looked like I would have to 
abandon it. 

Installer nit pick: The read me and the splash screen for the iTools7.3 core 
installer says that you can install PHP and MySQL along with the core software. 
But that is not true unless I'm missing some option. The only option available 
-- that I can see -- once you've installed the core software is to RESTART the 
box and then do your additional installs separately. 

Nit pick #2: Would it be possible to include an iTools Manager only installer? 
Many of us, I'm sure, run iTools Manager on our local desktops or powerbooks. 
It would be nice if I didn't have to download the entire 58MB just to get a 
local copy of the manager. 

Thanks, ~joe
