You can easily check if Zend Optimiser is running, with the following PHP program:

-------------------------- <?php phpinfo(); ?> --------------------------

My guess is that your provider is just sloooooooow (maybe sharing too many hosts per machine? or maybe has a CPU-hog on the shared machine?).

Can you be more precise about how slow? Does it affect all operations? View? Edit? Just large pages?

My site, http://en.chainki.org has over 10000 pages, is on a shared server, and is so far pretty fast (except when generating massive "disambiguation" pages) without any optimisation software.

Thanks!! My hosting service offers zend optimizer.... I'm trying to check if this has been configured or not... If it hasn't I'll get on it right away , if they have, any pointers on how I might improve the performance of the site... its reaallly slow right now.

Thanks much, AJ

Hi, I'm sure as the size of the database ( number of articles ) increases the wiki will slow down. Are there any ways I can help speed it up? I remember looking at an application that allowed you to delete all versions in the history except the most current one . Will this help? Right now I'm running the app on a shared system.

Thanks for any info.... AJ. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
