-- You can disable <a href="awstats_config.html#DNSLookup">DNSLookup</a> in AWStats (set DNSLookup=0 or DNSlookup=2 to only use DNS file resolver).\r
-Note that with DNSLookup disabled, if you still want to have the 'Country' report, you must enable the 'geoip' plugin.\r
-Without this plugin, 'Country' report will works only if hosts addresses in your log file are already\r
-resolved (need to setup your web server to do so, your web server will be slowed).\r
-Without DNSLookup, log analyze speed can be increased by 20 to 100 times.<br>\r

- Use carefully parameters <a href="awstats_config.html#URLWithQuery">URLWithQuery</a> and <a href="awstats_config.html#URLReferrerWithQuery">URLReferrerWithQuery</a>\r
-(Let them set to 0 if you don't know what they means) and check your web site URLs' syntax to know if you need to complete parameter <a href="awstats_config.html#URLQuerySeparators">URLQuerySeparators</a>.\r
+(Let them set to 0 if you don't know what they means) and check your web site URLs' syntax to know if you don't need to complete parameter <a href="awstats_config.html#URLQuerySeparators">URLQuerySeparators</a>.\r
If you really need to use <a href="awstats_config.html#URLWithQuery">URLWithQuery</a>=1, check that <a href="awstats_config.html#URLWithQueryWithoutFollowingParameters">URLWithQueryWithoutFollowingParameters</a> is set properly.<br>\r

- Be sure that your <a href="awstats_config.html#HostAliases">HostAliases</a> parameter list is complete.<br>\r
The more often you\r
launch AWStats, the less AWStats has new lines in log to process. This solve also the ActiveState memory problem (see next advice).<br>\r

-- Use last Perl version (For example 5.8 is 5% faster than 5.6) and use standard Perl distribution instead of ActiveState (For example Standard Perl 5.8 Win32 binary is 25% faster than\r
-ActiveState. And ActiveStates 5.006, and may be other versions, have an important memory problem making speed of analysis slower and slower when analysing more and more lines).<br>\r
