Yup, <@ADDROWS> sucks! Recently one of our servers was slowing down to a snail's pace. The CPU would suddenly jump to 100% for a few minutes. We thought it was bad code, like an endless loop or something in one of the applications. We moved the applications, one at a time, to another server and found the culprit.
I opened up the application and voila! There were numerous ADDROWS commands being run to build a list of ad banners on the page -- on every load! We're going to have to rewrite the thing. We've pretty well had to ban use of <@ADDROWS> in the department. I have no idea why it's so slow -- like it's running it from disk, rather then from RAM -- it's THAT slow. Hopefuly this is something that's fixed in V5 (hint, hint). - James. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Nathan Hitchcock Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 2:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: RE: Witango-Talk: Is Witango slow at doing nasty math? - No, it's <@ADDROWS> You are indeed correct about the <@ADDROWS> tag being the culprit. Removing it resulted in a previous 12 second calc loop for 204 matches taking only 1 second! Apperently, Witango can do trigonomic math faster than the average 11th grader. :) ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
