Re: Re: Wiki scalability

> As a test I made a new wiki page by pasting in a text file about 53K in size. The final page download, including the left and right column content, etc., was about 95K. It transferred and displayed in a matter of seconds. This was a typical Tiki installation (1.8rc2) with Pear, and over a DSL connection. So I'd say Tiki in its normal form doesn't have a scalability problem, at least in the 50K wiki page range. The slow performance in your case seems to be due to the absence of Pear or some other variable at your installation. It doesn't seem like it'd matter, but have you tried an English text page of the same size?

Thanks Gary - I was afraid I had made everybody run away with this problem.😂
I tried with both cyrillic and English, and I did notice a marked difference with cyrillic (my site is set up with UTF-8). I have no idea why this should be.
On the other hand, my site provider does not have PEAR installed and we had to do an installation of Tiki without it. Could this be the problem?
One difficulty I have is that I know nothing about the technical side of PHP so although I can do minor modifications I'm not sure where to begin. My site provider seems to have a rock-bottom basic PHP installation, so I presume the same is true for MySQL. Are there any specific parameters other than the ones in the Installation "getting started" guidelines that I should be looking for?
In the meantime, I'm looking for a more Tiki-friendly provider!
