Are you particularly noticing this on the wiki? That is known to be slow as the implementation is quite hacky. If you want to experience some real slowness, try browsing gitlab.com! Cheers, Matt On Wed, Jul 17, 2019 at 4:47 PM Brandon Allbery wrote:

I rather suspect it'd be more like "per some period" than a one-time fee, and "$100/month" is rather harder than "$100".

Hi all,

GitLab is sometimes a bit slow. I understand we host this ourselves, and faster is more expensive. My question: how much more expensive? That is, if we throw $100 at the problem, will gitlab be speedy? Will it take $1,000? $10,000? If it's the first one, then let's just blast ahead. If it's not, perhaps knowing what it would take would either help me accept the status quo (I know that every time my page loads slowly, the Haskell community has saved several dollars) or we could contemplate chipping in somehow.

Thanks! Richard _______________________________________________ ghc-devs mailing list ghc-devs@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ghc-devs

As it turns out, it was the wiki that directly inspired this post. But I had noticed the problem previously and wanted to say this for some time.

Yes, I should have clarified that I expect the charge to be recurring; pretend those figures are all per-year. If the problem is the gitlab implementation, and not our server power, then I agree there is no way for us to fix things.

Unfortunately the Wiki is a known performance problem-spot; it is indeed excruciatingly slow. I originally reported this as gitlab-ce#57179 [1] which upstream thinks they fixed in GitLab 11.8. However, as you note, things are still quite slow as of 12.0. I'll raise this with upstream. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/57179
