This blog has been quiet for the last two weeks, so I wanted to give an update: We are testing a performance patch next week that we received from Jive (it increases caching of certain objects) that they say will improve system performance. We are also investigating caching of pages for guests (non-logged in site visitor), which should provide further improvements. And we are investigating our Akamai configuration, although we believe any changes here will likely yield a smaller improvement. I'll update again next week when I have a schedule for the performance patch.
We also intend to re-enable points calculation, but this is lower priority than the performance fixes, so we'll schedule it after at least the initial performance patch is deployed.
Any idea when the points calculation will be reinstated?
