Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
@Derf: Its a recurring problem throughout the day, early morning, midday, early evening. I still believe there are too many cooks involved in putting MFO on the web. Regards, Ted
You're quite free, by the way, to believe anything you wish. It would be nice if those beliefs were backed by some combination of evidence or expertise, rather than annoyance and suspicion.
To Derf's point: we're still trying to figure this one out. We've hired outside consultants who've done some painfully detailed monitoring. Their suspicion is that one or two plug-ins (Who's Online and analytics) might be causing problems with the MySQL database but that's not absolutely certain. While the Observer looks simple on the surface, there are as many as 50 processes running under the hood at any one time. Their current rec is that we do a full dump and reload of the database (which would clean out any accumulated crud but take us off-line for an hour or two) and increase the InnoDB buffer pool size (an interim move that might keep "slow" from becoming "crash"). He'll be working on-site tonight even as Chip, Charles, Ed and I jam to get the April issue done and posted.

Hey Joe, it's raining again here in California Central Coast.
Rain, man, rain!
