Hi,
I've noticed a couple of times (i.e very rarely, mind you),
that the page generation of the forum had hiccups.
Have other people experienced such hiccups ?
If yes, I wonder if we saw the GC kicking in, or if it was
SQLite's fault (or was it a network latency ?).
Long page loads are caused by a combination of high server load +
RAM cache misses + SQLite queries that require a lot of seeks. I
still haven't found the time for the migration to a more powerful
server.
Is the server regularly restarted or is it running smoothly
without having to be restarted at all ?
It seems to run fine for weeks on end.
Does it measure the time for the page generation ? Would it be
interesting to see at the bottom of the page something like
"Page generated in xxx ms", when I (or other people) come
accross those hiccups, and to collect these data for statistics
over a week/month ?
There are some numbers in the reddit discussion:
