The newer versions are slower, though I don’t know exactly how much by.
I could definitely feel it when going between 19.4 and 19.5 mid upgrade (unless the quick switch caused the slowness!)
We’re now federating more (as the newer version supports more things between instances)
We’re also caching and resizing images too, so the server load is roughly 3 times higher.
(This may not continue).
We may do a restart once we’re confident that things are stable. As it’s possible that a little weirdness crept in!
I will hold my hands up: I went from “we should do this soon” to “oh, that’s not too horrible” to “ok, let’s do it” in the space of about 30 minutes.
Really, I should have stickies the post for an hour or so!
Emperor is talking about some cool custom error pages, which much improve things going forward.
