I don't see any information related to PerlMonks in your post you are just assuming the slowness is caused by MySQL. I wasn't an assumption. It was information about PerlMonks as I told you it was. Why are you contradicting me without any knowledge in the matter? (Questioning me would be different.) Unless you can prove it, You or one of the developers then PerlMonks does fall in the "most websites" category I mentioned before It has been proven. tye has spent a lot of time working on this. I don't know the details, but I'm pretty sure some of them were posted to the site in the past. One of the issues is that working with the software on which PerlMonks is based involves a lot of round trips to the database. Another involves issues with running MySQL on FreeBSD.	[reply]

FYI, tye covers the FreeBSD issues in a fair amount of detail in 846460. Update: Wow! I just reread that post in its entirety and it sounds like using compression could exasperate the "can't get anything done for X amount of time problem" and/or the need to reap large children.

That's my point, slow clients keep Apache process running until it finish downloading. gzipping contents will make page loads faster & will save traffic (a good idea even if the server is donated). Beside if it was a really bad idea, why would both google & facebook guys implement it?	[reply]

Why are you contradicting me without any knowledge in the matter? (Questioning me would be different.) You did not provide data to support your argument or any useful links, so I thought it was an assumption. One of the issues is that working with the software on which PerlMonks is based involves a lot of round trips to the database. Another involves issues with running MySQL on FreeBSD. I have no experience at all with FreeBSD (Never used it before), but if it's causing the slowness then why not change it?	[reply]

3rd party donates and runs the servers. Can't change the OS.	[reply]

You know, it's not like people have not asked about things like this before. And we also usually learn some things every time the hardware is upgraded or e.g. the recent outage where MySQL took a couple days to recover from some form of corruption. So basically, any monk that has been on here for a long time and follows PerlMonks Discussion should have a general idea of the situation. Take a look at Saints in our Book if you want to get an idea on who has been fairly active on here for an extended period of time. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]
