  • massive disk reads when opening overview

    Hello!

    I run my site on a slow Raspberry Pi on the SD card. I noticed that
    when many articles exist, this process takes multiple seconds until a
    minute. It (apache2) reads with almost 20 MByte/s from the disk for ~30
    sec.

    Is that intended?
    Due to low disk space, I plan to move the spooldir to a remote system
    connected via SMB. Is there any known reason against that (high latency
    etc.)?
    --
    kind regards

    Try splitting your site into several <sections>.

    Try enabling caching.

    www.novabbs.com has 2.7 million articles, and while slow, it't not all that slow. You'll notices larger sections are slower to load than smaller
    sections. This is because each section load must query each group from
    overview while loading.

    I run my devel site on a rasperry pi, and it's slow.
