New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Speed issues

23 Jun 2004


      I tried to put the $wgUseDatabaseMessages = false; in the
LocalSettings.php but it didn't seem to have an effect. 
Reloading the frontpage still takes about 15 seconds. The best result
i've had is 8 seconds. Opening other pages takes about 4 seconds and
using the back button to return to the mainpage is quick (less than 1
seconds).
I went to the testserver and it's much quicker. Is squid cache in use at
the testserver?

I have a static web on the same server and that is very fast indeed. 
File transfers is quick as well. 
When using the official wiki beta testserver sometimes the delay is 
equally bad there.
This might be the recaching of the MediaWiki message namespace, in
particular the caching stage which may take a while initially. Try
disabling database messages: $wgUseDatabaseMessages = false;
...
I know this is beta but i'm qurious to know if this is the expected 
speed or if one can expect an increase in speed when the wiki is out 
of beta or maybe my server space has too little brain allocated?
Is it *frequently* that slow or once a day?
