Why is K5 so slow? Developer Diary

Why is Kuro5hin.org so slow? Is it because of Scoop, or the the server, or what? I'm trying to decide upon a weblog system to use, and I don't want my site to be as unstable and slow as K5 (half the time, there's some stupid modperl error).

< ugh | Scoop on Mac OS X? >

database (5.00 / 1) (#1)

IIRC, it's the database. Specifically, having indexes too large for the available RAM.

Having a separate database for archiving stories and comments helps.

If the mod_perl server can't connect to the database, it'll throw an error, so all the errors look like mod_perl errors, even if they're really database-related...

For a site smaller than k5 (like most scoop sites) this isn't an issue.
