The wiki text table is about 2.0 GiB and Mantis's file table is about 4.3GiB.
I love seeing the innards of all this. We could do some funny facts lists, like the total number of suggestions on Mantis, the number of character in the Wiki, the number of posts in the Forum...

Is it just me or is the page significantly slower these days?

Good luck with ironing out the issues! :)

All issues should be ironed out now! The only thing left is performance-enhancing stuff and a little bit of infrastructure that you guys really won't notice.

There are currently about 16835 reports in Mantis, the number of characters on the Wiki is impossible to store, it actually overflows the max integer value, and you found the number of posts in the forum! If you want more innards of the wiki you can look at Special:Statistics which is automatically updated a ton. Make sure to sign in to view the most recent stuff though! For Mantis you can see the date when each issue is resolved/closed at the Change Log. :)

Its slower for you? Hmm... that might actually be a location thing then. The server is in Michigan, USA rather than spread out across the world. Although, in theory, Cloudflare should be giving you really good results still. I'll definitely look into speeding it up for you though!

Number of characters = [number of gigabytes of text data] * [size of a gigabyte in bytes]

Heh, that would work. Wouldn't be perfect, but relatively close. There are other tables and other bits of data in each table that add to the size :P

It's a good ballpark estimate and its not like the exact count is a useful number in any meaningful fashion anyway.  "Oh, I'm sorry, the number we were looking for was seventeen qaudrillion, four hundred and fifteen trillion, seventy five billion, two hundred and thirty nine million, seven thousand, and one."

Mantis just went down for about 30 seconds, and the wiki is still acting incredibly slow right now.  Is this maintenance or...?

That was an Apache restart to update the configuration stuff. Tell me if it stays slow though.

Sorry, have been in mantis like crazy the past while and forgot to check back.  The wiki is still super slow.  It's on 60+ seconds and counting for one page refresh for me right now, although the prior one was 4 seconds.  Table locking contention, maybe?

And then after hitting cancel and then refreshing again, it refreshed in 1 second.  So that's all over the place.

The only thing I can think of to cause that would be table locking contention, but we don't have any MyISAM tables that would lock the whole table, only row-level locking is available. It might be a client thing, I know that my browser occasionally takes forever to load a page at one point but then loads the rest of that site extremely fast. When you were doing the page refresh, did you have ?action= in the URL?

I'm in Sweden and loading a reply page takes ca 15 seconds. It never used to be that slow.

That is definitely unacceptable for the speed. Does it only happen on the forums, on certain forum actions, or is it site-wide? Also, what actions are you taking when it is slow?

It seems to be rather intermittent. I've had it happen twice now today, but right NOW when I replied to you both loading the forum and the reply page was snappy.

That suggests it is more of a database problem. I'll look into it and see if I can diagnose the speed issues. When it does happen, try to refresh and bypass the cache (The shortcut depends on your browser).
