If you're already running 4.x, well, take
heart. It would be *even
worse* on 3.x. ;)
That's a consolation, thank you. :-)
The machine is running 4.0.22 on RHE3. The present indexing rate is 40
MB per hour which makes 16 hours for Wiki De, and at least two times
more for Wiki En.
You might want to see about memory and I/O usage here. If MySQL's
memory usage settings are too low, it may be using the disk
inefficiently; if it's too high, it may be thrashing swap.
I've heard PHP 5 is much faster than 4, but it
makes impossible the
use of Turck mmcache. On the other hand, Turck is not updated since
November 2003 and D. Stogov is said to have joined Zend. (?)
Well, Zend's accelerator/optimizer/whatever will probably do as good a
job. Unlike PHP itself these aren't free software (though some of it
may be available gratis, I'm not sure).
I haven't done any direct PHP4 vs PHP5 speed comparisons. I should
probably check sometime, if I can manage to get two separate
installations on the same machine.
