I had done some initial testing and work on this, but unfortunately I moved in real life and work started taking up more time. A somewhat brief overview of the problem and profiler output of where the slowdowns are is listed here: http://wiki.bludgeon.org/FedoraProject/MoinOptimize At this point I don't know where upstream is at implementing fixes that might help this out. I hope to take a look at this again at some point, but someone else is welcome to as well. Seems like it would be much less work than switching to a completely different wiki platform. Although there is something to be said for the Moin team perhaps being focused on more small-scale sites whereas MediaWiki's dev team has to handle a site of much larger scale :) Ray _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
