Hi,
One of the mmbase installations we host has a custom builder which functions as some sort of forum... while looking through the database I was kinda shocked when I saw that the table used by this builder has more than 10,000 objects... every object is a reaction to a posted article. Could it be that this has a negative effect on the performance of mmbase? I've noticed this mmbase installation is extremely slow for an X amount of time after startup... Since all these records are related to something, the install_insrel table is quite huge too... A related question I have on this: if an object has an expire time set, will it be deleted from the database if it expires or will it simply not be displayed (in other words: do objects stick around for ever in the database?) Ricardo.
