Hi,
Lately I have been getting more and more complaints from my users that my board is very slow, and unfortunately they are right.
The problem is that we can't find out what is causing this. We are running on a dual Netra 300 MHz with 1Gb of memory (dedicated server) and the board isn't that big (~30-35 users at any given time, ~170K posts). I would think that the machine should be able to cope, but according to my partner it is running at 0% idle time and both harddisk are busy contiuously as well.
Obviously the easiest solution would be to throw more hardware at this, but hardware is not cheap. Besides we only upgraded to this server (donated by our members, btw) 6 months ago.
For the moment we have switched off full tracking, but both I and the members much prefer having this switched on.
One possible solution we are thinking about is moving all posts older than 3 months to a read-only archive. Unfortunately since we would want this to be in a different database, we have not figured out how to do this.
Suggestions would be more than welcome.
Sanuk!
PS Oh, we are running 6.1.1 btw
