Right, I suspected as much. That is why I said that “in comparison to everything else, MINT was a hog. 83% is a pretty big gulp from even 20%. Granted the next highest resource 9.77% will go up now that MINT is gone, but the 20% will go down, I’m guessing. The key for me “unnecessary”. MINT is not necessary, given all that Analytics does, so the trade off (trimming down the 20%) seems worth it. Thank you though for your comment! It is appreciated.

Hey,

I’ve commented over at Ben’s website and I was wondering what the graph was of? It has a count value and you have roughly 26,400 page query loads? And I guess this is where my question comes in, as I understand it you have GPU’s at media temple and you are given 1k per month, so I’m wondering how taxing your website was with mint installed? If you’re only using 200gpu’s then you’re effectively only using 20% of your GPU’s and of that 20% Mint is using 83%. This of course is no real concern, however, 80% GPU usage would be.

Yep. I dropped the Mint tables too. I dropped the entire database (which used a ton of resources too!). Google Analytics it is! Thanks for the heads up, Ben. Good work.

LOL! I discovered the exact same thing about my Mint installation (clicky)and just removed it from my server completely. I dropped the tables and everything. I’m using Google Analytics now for my stats and for my subscriber count I’m using Feedburner again.

Thanks for the link, btw.
