Hi all,

We upgraded our DSpace server from 5.8 to 7.6.1 and since then we have been 
having performance issues. For example, sometimes instead of the top level 
communities showing on the home page has "Error fetching items", or item 
pages loading slowly, or searches timing out/taking a long time to load. 

Our OS is RHEL 9, and our server has 16GB RAM, and 4 CPU's. RAM division 
wise we have given Solr 2GB, Tomcat 2GB and pm2 has been given the 
arguments "max_memory_restart": "1500M" and "node_args": 
"--max-old-space-size=2048", each node process seems to settle at a bit 
over 1GB in memory.

The repository has close to 300k items with close to 3.5k collections.

We plan on updating to 7.6.2 soon to take advantage of some of the 
improvements that have occurred there (for example, we are hoping it will 
allow non-admin staff to load the workflow tasks pages), however are there 
any suggestions as to what else we might do to improve performance or what 
we may have missed?  For reference in our logs we are regularly seeing "GET 
/items/<uuid> HTTP/1.1" pages taking greater than 10 or 15 seconds (We're 
also not seeing a corresponding significant length of time for that uuid's 
/server/api calls found by doing a grep so we're theorizing it's something 
to do with angular). 

It should also be noted that in addition to pages regularly taking a long 
time to load, we have regular issues with 502 errors, and the 
hdl.handle.net redirections seem to have problems/get lost somewhere 
(potentially because of the page performance issues?). 

Thanks and Regards,

Akshay Karthik Thana Sekar
