--- Comment #19 from Aaron Halfaker <[email protected]> 2010-07-14 15:49:02 UTC --- > This bug was closed exactly because it will put an extra load on database, not > due to bandwidth issues. John Erling Blad's proposal to generate the checksums only when requested should not significantly increase database load. In general, hashing algorithms are O(n) (linear) in complexity (very fast, even for large text chunks). The requested checksums could be cached to improve the performance, but given the speed at which checksums (even the "heavy" ones) can be generated, this benefit is likely to be small at best. I was under the impression that this bug was closed because the developers either deemed that it was in unimportant new feature to support and/or not worth developer time. I cannot argue with that. Database load, on the other hand, is not a good reason to close this bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
