Somebody sent me an anonymous (no name, no from address) e-mail in response to a mail I sent to this list. Since I don't know who the sender is, I guess I'll have to reply through the list. Please let me know if this is not the correct way of doing it.

I'd be very grateful if the sender of the mail showed themselves.

are you timwi from LJ by any chance?

Yes.

cause if you are, im thinking you might have some ideas to try to reduce load to our servers and optimize this whole sheebang.

Why does it take a Timwi from LJ to do database optimisations? :-)

Anyway - yeah, I was going to have some looks at it later on. I'm waiting for my first patch to go through first though -- I wouldn't like to spend time on it if it's not going to be used anyway.

I noticed that pages with a lot of links (like the "List of XYZ topics" pages) take a long time to edit. I'm imagining it updates some table for all those links even if just one of the links was changed, or something. Is that the case? Perhaps if someone could point me at a particular file and line where this is happening? Thanks in advance! :)

Greetings, Timwi
