Is it just me?
Or are we getting slower? Especially popping comments on MuNu blogs seems to be taking a long time. RSS pulls are still lightning fast but opening a page off of an RSS link is also taking a while.
Or is it just me?
Posted by Jim at November 4, 2003 09:53 AM | TrackBackComments are a problem on Movable Type blogs. Particularly if you have category archives enabled, because if you leave a comment, it rebuilds the post and all archives which contain that post. Category archives grow without bound so...
Lousy design, I must say.
The server remains 99% idle; there is plenty of bandwidth available. The only cure is a much faster processor or a change of blogging software. 
Ouch. Maybe get rid of some of the archive styles that we don't really use. I think I have date archiving on but I never refer to those, only category and individual.
Posted by: Jim at November 4, 2003 01:57 PMOkay, I tried to get rid of my date based archiving and ran into a problem. I went to the archiving page of weblog config and removed the checkbox next to monthly. When I rebuilt I got an error in MTArchive saying something about the monthly archive not being part of the site specifications. Sorry that's not specific, I panicked when I saw the error so immediately went in and put Monthly back on and rebuilt again.
Where else do I have to change settings to get rid of an archive set?
