What is a problem is that serving a ticket triggers Trac to execute hundreds of SQL queries (most of which are apparently the same), causing load on the VM and increased use of memory. I suppose I might just have to do for vmdev what I have done for vmweb (i.e. do some benchmarking and improve the setup gradually). But first I need to finish the works on vmweb ... cheers, Oliver
