> Do you have validate_doc_update in some design document No, but I use an update handler for every update. I coded the handler so that I can send the DB an update to an internal field, even a nested one, and it reads the doc, does the update, and saves it. I really like this feature. It also reduces conflicts because of the faster turnaround and less http traffic. It is almost atomic.
I just found out that my medium server only has 1.7 gigs of ram. I just bumped up to a large with 7.5 gigs. Even thought the large server has a little less cpu, the DB runs much better. I assume the file system cache has some breathing room now. I feel guilty that I've caused all this because of a lame mistake in server choice. However I have really learned a lot and appreciate all the feedback, which I'm going to implement, even though my app runs decently now.
