Is it just me, or are all the pages taking forever to load?

It's a throwback to the days when the servers ran via hamster.

Yeah, this new server still needs some tuning. The MySQL database is locking up a bit...

Been working on a few other problems that cropped up post migration, hoping to get to actual server tuning shortly.

Seems *much* better now. But the my_topics (?do=my_topics;) still often is not working.

Black header bar -> My Stuff -> My Topics

Thanks for the heads up Gabe. I dug a bit deeper and changed a few database cache settings.

Is it better now?

Yes! Thanks! BTW, I'm also working on tuning a MySQL server. Lots of interesting settings to play with... Kind of fun!

You probably already know this, but innodb_buffer_pool_size & innodb_buffer_pool_instances are your friends. I'd completely forgotten when we migrated to change the defaults, that's why the site was slow... buffer pool size of 128MB. It's 20 GB now which should be far more than we need. :-D

Unfortunately, this site has 24 tables that have FULLTEXT indexes, so can't be converted to InnoDB without changing MySQL server version, and I'm hesitant to do that for several reason... those are the likely culprits at this point if any part of the site is running slow.

We should probably take this conversation offline, but two quick thoughts:

1 - Starting with version 5.6 innoDB tables can support Full-Text search. So you should consider moving those from MyISAM. But there are still some reasons to keep some tables in the older engine. If you choose to do so, consider point 2.

- key_buffer_size defines size in memory for index blocks to share from MyISAM tables. The default for this on your DB is 16 M - tiny! If you have some large and vital indexed MyISAM tables consider upping this variable to as much a quarter of the memory available on your machine.

Good luck!

It seems to be slower again the last couple days?
