Does it solve the issue of taking up so much power, that the Anope services disconnected itself from the IRCD? I only have a small network, but still this happened.
I still don't understand why it takes it so much power while previous versions did not. I also run Denora Stats, which has a continuous MySQL connection. I never have had any issues with that. Maybe the Anope developers can take a look at how the Denora team have implemented their MySQL queries?
The MySQL implementation is a requirement if you want to develop a website which uses info the services store in the database, especially if you make use of Denora- as well as Anope's database, you can make really cool web applications.
