Hi. We have been using LinksSQL for years, in more than one server under our same domain (its one website, but we need more than one server to run it). When installing Links3.x in the same way as we used to and testing search.cgi, mysql went up to 123 points and the load made the server unworkable (and we are still using modperl). Is there a new functionality of some sort that makes the new version's CPU usage more demanding? Also, is there a problem with running this version on distributed servers? Thanks!

Nothing major has changed with the exception of the Category tree (see the changelogs in the announcements forum). Do you have indexing turned on on your new install? That would make a big difference in searches.

Thanks Adrian. What do you mean by "indexing"? If you are refering to the "search index" option that is in the admin, under the Database menu, we did run that.

Please clarify what you are refering to. Thanks! :)

Can anybody give us a hand with this?

Thanks,

I was talking about admin => Database => Editor (Links, Properties -> Go) => Indexing Scheme. If it's NONINDEXED, then searches on a large database will take longer and require more resources. Try switching it to INTERNAL and then running a Rebuild Search (could take a while to run on a large database).
