Hello, we are having problems with our message boards being very very slow after the upgrade to 6.04e (UNIX/Linux). We currently have UBB installed on a PII 400 with 1/2 Gig of Ram. Most of our customers attempting to post or read posts are thinking that the page is erroring out.
We heard that performance was a bit slower in 6.04e and also heard that after the pages cache, performance should become better. However, we are experiencing EXCRUCIATINGLY slow performance right now. By the way, the load was also extremely high on the box itself, sometimes using up to 80% of the processor.
Is there anything immediate we can do? Will splitting up our larger message boards into smaller ones help? How big should we let our message boards grow before splitting them up / archiving them / deleting them?
Also - would it be possible to get some stats on some of Infopops customers using UBB, ie. what kind of machines people are using, how big a "heavily trafficed message board" actually is, and what kind of load these customers are dealing with using UBB?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks
