one database, same content, two wordpress sites, different structure? or another solution to have 2 websites with the same content?

Question

I have a WordPress site that shows posts that it gets from rss using a plugin.

I want to split the "jobs" in 2 different websites because in this configuration is not working properly (high amount of rss sources to be parsed). I need to set one site to get the posts, and the other to show them on a template; i dont want to have the rss plugin on the site that display the posts.

1. Is this possible using the same database, same content but different wordpress configuration?
2. Is there another solution to have 2 different databases and autoupdate one from another?
3. Any ideea other then these 2?

Thanks

if I understand your problem correctly the solution will depend on what you can do to resolve this issue.

Firstly I think you only need one website the issue you have sounds like your website is displaying items directly from the many RSS feeds which will be slow, instead I would recommend creating a process to import the posts on a daily basis to then get written to your database.

This will probably take the form of a cron job on your server. However if you don't have access to do this I would recommend creating pages in the back end that will import the rss content when you click import.
