Hello!

I run my site on a slow Raspberry Pi on the SD card. I noticed that
when many articles exist, this process takes multiple seconds until a
minute. It (apache2) reads with almost 20 MByte/s from the disk for ~30
sec.

Is that intended?
Due to low disk space, I plan to move the spooldir to a remote system
connected via SMB. Is there any known reason against that (high latency
etc.)?

kind regards
Marco

Try splitting your site into several <sections>.

Try enabling caching.

www.novabbs.com has 2.7 million articles, and while slow, it't not all that
slow. You'll notices larger sections are slower to load than smaller
sections. This is because each section load must query each group from
overview while loading.

I run my devel site on a rasperry pi, and it's slow.
