Blogs with many posts are slow

[Kristina Hoeppner]

Heinz reports in a DM: "Hi, blogs with many postings are very slowly in mahara. I use one wth more than 100 posts"

[Darryl Hamilton (lordp)]

I've set up a local copy with 148 blog entries and I can't replicate any slow response with PostgreSQL or MySQL. Clicking through the pager is fast, with no obvious CPU or disk IO that I can see.

I've attached the LEAP2A file I created to test with. The 'content' of each blog is generated Lorem Ipsum text (5 paragraphs), with the published/updated date incremented by one day.

Hi Darryl, did you try putting the blog into a view as well as browsing it in the journals area? If you did, and still can't reproduce the bug, then just add a note asking the reporter of the bug whether they're still experiencing the problem (or asking for more detail on how to reproduce it), and change the status to Incomplete. That will make the bug expire automatically if there's no reply.

Hi Kristina

I've done as Richard suggested and put the blog into a view, but I'm still not seeing any obvious slow responses.

Can you ask Heinz if he can provide more information about this - specifically the kind of content he's got in his blog entries, eg embedded images or video, plain text, or something else. The version of Mahara he's using and what database he's attaching it to would be very useful as well.

Hi Darryl,

I sent Heinz an email. He should also be alerted via a Launchpad notification.

Hi Darryl,

I played with my blog with 134 postings again , a mix of text, some pics.

I think the problem is gone since I use a new host. It´s 1.3.4 mahara postgresql

I create a secret URL for testing http://ewiesion.com/mahara/view/view.php?t=AyihgQ2HYUK5Tsk1XMEv

HTH Heinz

Does the issue still exist in a later version of Mahara?
