Folks,
Performance Issue/Question
MediaWiki:1.26.2 :: Apache:2.4.16 (Ubuntu) :: PHP:5.6.16-2+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 MySQL:5.6.27-0ubuntu0.14.04.1-log :: Processor:Intel Xeon QuadCore X3210 :: Memory: 3 Gig HD: 1.5Tb @ 126g usage :: 64Bit System *****************************************
I have a very small single user(me) wiki in use for genealogy work. I have very little traffic visiting the site. I keep the wiki updated fairly religiously, including extensions as well as the physical server itself. I have Zend OPCache running on this server as well.
My issue has always been a speed issue in importing XML files that have been exported from Wikipedia. As an example, I may export a wikipedia page about a particular town or county that is relevant to my genealogy research and import the XML into my wiki. It takes an excruciatingly long time to import even a relatively small wikipedia page into my wiki. I'm talking 5+ minutes to import a single page such as this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilford_County,_North_Carolina, into my wiki.
I've been trying to fix this issue for a couple of years and have not figured out why it takes so long to import the wikipedia pages.
I'd like to mention here that my physical server is located in a full blown data center with 100Mb switch ports on a gigabit fiber network and out through a 10 gig pipe to the world. Network access is not a problem.
I guess my question is, what can I do to improve the import process?
Thanks,
