FEATURES BANNERPLUS GOLD - $250
BannerPlus Gold has identical features to BannerPlus Pro except that the core script is written in C. Perl is an interpreted language and that means that every time a perl script is run (ie every time you display a banner or someone clicks on a banner) your server needs to load the Perl interpreter. This results in a substantial CPU and memory overhead and can lead to server crashes. The busier your banner exchange, the bigger the problem. BannerPlus Gold uses compiled C code which greatly reduces the strain on your server and improves both speed and efficiency.
BannerPlus Gold is essential for larger banner exchanges, or for medium sized exchanges running on shared (virtual) servers. No Perl software is adequate in these situations.
