Tags and Performance

Speaking of suggestion of tags for post and bizbob, he added an enhancement request to our Trac DB proposing that the tags suggested in the list should not only be based on previous tags in the DB but on frequent words that are found in users posts and that users with a high score value should be weighted in so that their tags should appear highest in the list.

Oh well, that could be done, I responded as always, but what does our UX specialist says about ordinary words coming up in the tag list and what will happen with our performance? Bob responded that it just a matter of looking up words in another table… Can someone tell me why biz people knows that there are tables in a database?

We’re not yet having the Twitter issues and Pownce problems with the performance of our social network community but that could be because we are still in a beta phase with a limited number of users

I really need to populate the dev server’s DB with some millions of posts, comments and tags tomorrow and put a load test on it to see where we are regarding the performance at the moment.

TechToby Now at WordPress

I really got to setup WordPress on a dedicated linux box. WordPress.com as a SaaS is really too slow. Just have to convince BizBob to finance another rack.
