Hi,

i've just upgraded to 4.0.3. All is going fine (i think), it is taking ages to perform the background tasks (more than a million posts), i suppose it will take about more one day or two, but till now it seems ok.

I have one issue though. The "Latest Topics" widget (which is fundamental for me) takes ages to load. With it my main page takes about 7-8 seconds to load. Without it is almost imediate. How can this be? With 3.4.x i had it and i had no problem whatsoever... Alternative suggestions?

Can you try the "customizable topic feed" .. you can do the same thing as "latest topics" with it .. at least you have some more filters to smooth things out ..

I have same issue with latest topics or posts. If i use latest posts it is 100% sure that my site would go down and i start to receive 500 - timeout errors.Then i could just wait and when my site is live i can remove that widget. I have done it several times.

Are you using innodb?  Latest Topics uses a query that utterly kills innodb. 3 min query on innodb vs .01 seconds on myisam.  I bugged it but no response.

I do have innoDB, and i had to disable the widget too.
Did you put at the bug tracker? I'll add some pressure to it :D

Is it for that reason that IPS is not using that widget at this board?

Actually, I've just disabled this on our site, what a massive difference.

​Indeed! Something must be wrong with those queries!

It took me ages to track down in mysql monitor...

Removing access to Activity Stream and disabling Latest Topics made my load go from 10.0 and unable to stay online, to 0.40 and snappy.
