Yes, I’m aware that since I upgraded to MT 3.32, stuff here has been slooooow. Just like you, I’m getting comments that time out (System Error 500), or just take forever to happen. Typekey authentication may be part of it (it’s been kind of wonky — or it may be the other way around). Or it may be that there are template file problems I need to clean up (my templates are still largely coded from several MT releases back, and I know from having done work on BD’s blog that the template language
\nhas been much cleaned up since then).<\/p>\n

I know that BD’s page is running pretty well, so it’s not my MT installation per se, nor my host. I can (in the meantime) reduce the number of entries on the first page (bumped up considerably, from 30 to 60, when I was doing the Blogathon), to see if that helps (the front page has to be rebuilt when new comments are made, so there is at least some impact).<\/p>\n

So, things to do, probably this weekend (ha).<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nUpgrade to MT 3.33 (per yesterday’s announcement<\/a>). That’s not oriented around performance issues, but it needs to be done anyway.<\/li>\n
  2. \nCreate new individual archive page templates, per current standards. See if that helps.<\/li>\n
  3. \nPut in the text CAPTCHA stuff I’ve done on BoH and BD’s blog, so that folks can bypass that authentication here if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And we’ll see how that does.<\/p>\n

    UPDATE: Well, reducing the post count on the front page didn’t speed up the comment process. Ah, well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
