Hello all, As splitbrain suggested at the last IRC meeting we should first check which variable delays the generation of the metrics in the popularity plugin. We made a benchmarking version of helper.php [1] that creates a file in /tmp/ directory listing the percentage of time needed to generate every popularity parameter. We ran that script in 3 dokuwiki instances where we got similar results: 1. Fresh installation [2]: search_cachedir + search_datadir + search_mediadir = 57% 2. minsoc.com [3]: search_cachedir + search_olddir + search_metadir + search_datadir + search_indexdir + search_mediadir = 99.9% 3. Private installation [4]: search_cachedir + search_olddir + search_metadir + search_datadir + search_indexdir + search_mediadir = 99.6% Which of these stats we could remove in the newer version to make it run faster?
