Recently I tried upgrading to mediawiki 1.19 on a shared server (hosted by Dreamhost). After upgrading to 1.19, my site was sooooooooo slow that it was barely operable. Pages would rarely successfully load and most would eventually turn into a "not found", 500 error.
Here is an excerpt from the log kept by our Process Watcher, the daemon that is killing your troublesome php5.cgi processes: Tue Aug 7 11:15:29 2012 procwatch3 INFO: PID 27983 (php5.cgi) kingkwon:pg505086 - 36.4MB ram, 2.73 sec cpu [idle php]: killed for uid ram Tue Aug 7 11:15:49 2012 procwatch3 INFO: PID 29184 (php5.cgi) kingkwon:pg505086 - 36.7MB ram, 1.12 sec cpu: killed for uid ram Tue Aug 7 11:15:49 2012 procwatch3 INFO: PID 29073 (php5.cgi) kingkwon:pg505086 - 36.6MB ram, 0.89 sec cpu: killed for uid ram Tue Aug 7 11:15:59 2012 procwatch3 INFO: PID 28477 (php5.cgi) kingkwon:pg505086 - 35.4MB ram, 2.48 sec cpu [idle php]: killed for uid ram Tue Aug 7 11:15:59 2012 procwatch3 INFO: PID 29079 (php5.cgi) kingkwon:pg505086 - 33.5MB ram, 1.40 sec cpu [idle php]: killed for uid ram Kills prior days: /var/log/procwatch.log.1.gz:7102 /var/log/procwatch.log.2.gz:4569 /var/log/procwatch.log.3.gz:38 Let me give you a bit of background information: -My site: Koreanwikiproject.com -We get around 1,400 hits a day. -I would occasionally have problems with slow loading and processes getting killed. I originally thought this was due to people possibly using the pdf converter plugin. However when I had 1.19 installed, I hardly had any plugins installed as I was doing a fresh install then copying my image files over. -No caching has been enabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will eventually be moving to VPS but I'd like to make sure this same problem doesn't carry over to the VPS.
