Hi IOhannes, hi list,
for some reasons the archie of the mailing list is extremely slow. Has anybody else experienced similar problems? searching for words takes several minutes or the connection times out. Is this a temporary problem or how can we find another solution. I find the archives a very good reference and used them often...
actually the problem is the web-server, which is currently working with
100% cpu-load.
this (i guess) is mainly due to the pure-data.org-portal. a lot of people have actually subscribed to the pure-data.org and they are doing lots of stuff, espacially storing files in the backend-database, which makes the database extremely big (>2GB already) nad thus slow.
Of course this was not the (our=IEMs) intention of the portal-thing and we were not prepared for such an amount of data. Since it slows down a lot of our services significantly, it is planned to migrate the pure-data.org portal to a dedicated server in the near future (next week).
Hopefully then the mailing-list archive will be faster too....
