When I clear cache via Drush, I get a memory error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to

The same error comes up over and over but references different modules, so I think the module listed here is irrelevant.

I have a dedicated server and I do not experience this problem on other sites installed on the same server. The php.ini file sets the memory limit at 256M for this site.

Cache clears via the Drupal UI but, takes a really long time (like 30 sec).

Turning Views and modules dependent on it OFF fixes the problem. But of course the site is useless without Views. I'm using Views 2.8.

I have no idea if it is related... but all the theming goes away when I turn on "optimize css."

Any ideas about the problem or how I should go about troubleshooting it would be most appreciated.

1. Disable Gzip Compression of pages by PHP. Use mod_deflate 2. Enable mod_cache & mod_disk_cache 3. Use xcache/apc/eaccelerator. 4. Use mod_fcgi or mod_fastcgi instead of mod_php.

This is do with site problems.

Now, come to drush problem.

I was facing something similar.

Some solutions I found was -

Compile PHP with CFLAGS & CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march i686" (i686 or relevant)

Same CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS for mysql/pgsql.

This enables PHP to run faster.

Set vm.swappniess = 100 (default is 60).

This will NOT degrade performance, but increase it by a little. If you set higher values then it WILL DEGRADE.

Report back.
