--- Comment #8 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> --- On Further investigation: *On ?action=purge we purge all the thumbnails of old versions of the file. This is very expensive if there are a lot of old versions (over 200 seems to get one in to the territory of the request timing out) *We originally started doing this for bug 30192, which seemed to add the purge old thumbs overzealously. Its probably really only needed when deleting a file. Additionally it appears that the code paths that actually need this purge (except possibly for revdel) already do that via some other means as well. *Commons users (I asked a small sample of users on irc) complain that often on overwriting a file, cache is not purged initially, but ?action=purge works. This isn't really consistent with the large-number-of-old-versions issue, so I suspect that it is a separate issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
