Question

Our Twiki installation is running too slow for the last few days. Server(4 CPU 4 GB RAM)

When we do top and ps -aux we find that oops and search processes are eating up a lot of CPU cycles.

Yesterday we deployed twiki again on another machine with the same content.(copied data and pub dirs). On this machine(1 CPU 1 GB RAM) the performance was real good.

Can somebody tell why these oops and search processes keep on running?

Attached are the results for top and ps -aux commands

Answer

Well, I guess TWiki just looooves well dimensioned hardware

I have reported this as a bug in our bugtracker, open as Bugs:Item2494.

We will probably need to debug this a bit further, so if you have a possibility to install an apache module that will tell you a bit more about the processes (report full urls etc) I'm sure this will be helpful in troubleshooting this.

after waffeling on a little about differences between the machines, i had an actually useful thought - is your /tmp filling up with session files? or your apache or twiki log files getting big?

we've had similar sorts of issues when we forgot to use log_rotate on the apache logs...
