Slow Revisited

["Harry Patterson" <harry@visiontm.com>]

Hi All,

I've read all the pertinent documentation I could find including the FAQ,
the Reference pages and about 150 messages trying to solve my speed problem
with MiniVend. I've cut the response time on the demo from 50 seconds to
display the index page down to 20 seconds, but that is still unacceptable
and not close to the 3-5 seconds the demo takes at minivend.com. The best
clue I have is that the system seems to be using swap excessively even with
128 MB, but I can't determine why. There aren't many processes running and
the hard drive is not working hard except when MiniVend is used during the
demo. Anyone have any clues as to why or what might be causing this and some
additional steps I can try to reduce this time?

New Install on:

FreeBSD 2.2.5
Pentium II 233
128 MB RAM
MiniVend 3.14.3
Perl5

Thanks,

Harry Patterson
