Hi, I plan to try and use a big (~67K entries) table as a "database" in a LUA script, with a basic lookup function. One call of the module would be well within the time and memory limits, but I'm worried for pages that might invoke the module several hundred times, so I did an experiment with only a single entry in the table and the results are encouraging:
1 call: Lua time usage 0.006/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage 513 KB/50 MB 10 calls: Lua time usage 0.010/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage 873 KB/50 MB 100 calls: Lua time usage 0.074/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage 1,35 MB/50 MB There are obviously some optimizations there and I would be curious what they are? Do you use some CoW or other trick to prevent loading that table 100 times? Do you have the loading/parsing process documented somewhere? Thanks, Strainu _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
