Hi Dave, With zero details about your setup: 1. Use FastCGI and not mod_perl for better resource management and performance. Putting nginx in front of a pool of fastCGI threads provided a much nicer user experience for us. 2. Benchmark frequent queries used on your existing system against your new system and look for performance regressions using user accounts and not root/superuser accounts. We are still running RT-3.8.last waiting for RT-IR to be available for RT-4.2.x so we can upgrade so I do not have any specific problems or pitfalls to report, yet.
