in thread On Site retitle function

The existing retitling scripts put a far higher load on the site because they request each node to be retitled via HTTP, and save it again, not only causing your UPDATE statements but also updating the user settings and other stuff. So in my opinion, the load is negligible. Mad props for implementing this!

    But the retitling scripts can go to sleep between node updates, I'm not sure the onsite retitler has that option.

      Rendering the nodelets takes a few thousands SQL queries. Rendering a page with no nodelets only several hundred SQL queries. Adding a hundred SQL queries / updates to a single page load likely isn't a big problem (given how infrequently retitling happens).

      - tye        

        I am happy the retitler runs by now, though I would have appreciated a little notification in this thread. However, what happened to The editors' hall of mirrors and trickery? Why is it gone from the editors nodelet?
