[Mediawiki-l] Loading Recent Changes brings CPU to 100% on server

Thu Aug 31 23:39:56 UTC 2006

Hello,

I am still having this problem, although I believe that it is specific
to the settings of MediaWiki, seeing that I have other MediaWiki
installations (also 1.7.1) on the same server, and they do not have
this problem.

When a user loads the recent changes page on my wiki, the CPU
utilization on my server goes up to 99 to 100% for a single Apache
process, and that process stays alive for *exactly* 60 seconds (which
also happens to be the cutoff time for PHP scripts on my server).
This only happens *after* the recent changes page has been sent to the
browser, and the connection has been closed (I have KeepAlive off).

I have no idea what is going on, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kasimir Gabert
