SV: [Mediawiki-l] Speed issues

[Rune Tomren]

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 the testserver is much quicker. Is squid
cache in use at the testserver?

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;

Is it *frequently* that slow or once a day?
