Cache sweeping turns out to be a major timesink for typo, especially if there's a lot of items in the page cache because, until recently, the sweep involved hitting the database and deleting each cached file individually. The problematic changes in Typo 5 are an attempt to work around that problem by moving the article and pages directories into a temporary 'trash' directory and then nuking that directory with an 'rm -r'. The catch with that approach is that for reasons I still can't quite understand, sometimes it's moving the entire typo directory into the trash directory, which is less than ideal. This is, obviously, a lousy time to be laid up with flu - I can no more wrap my brain around code at the moment than fly over the moon. _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
