Hi due to continuing performance issues (and complaints) about trac speed ive switched the database to WAL mode. This should make th db signifciantly faster but iam not sure the database was the limiting factor. Now reading and writing can proceed concurrently, before writes would block everything. One might think "but there wasnt that much changed/writen" this is logic but not true. The database stores every recent spammer access and everything that could be a spammer, every session cookie (we have 129379 temporary sessions in teh ffmpeg trac databse for example). This is bad design arguably of course .... If you notice any new issue, please report it here. Ive made a backup from trac before this and we have daily trac backups if this causes a major issue i intend to rollback to a previous backup and disable it again. But i expect no major issue, its likely either faster or not. thx -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Old school: Use the lowest level language in which you can solve the problem conveniently.
