I’d love to get more details here. If you have benchmark or more data about the size of the database and queries performed. If you use Query Monitor, you can see a lot about it.
Thanks for the suggestion — I’ll run Query Monitor and gather some benchmarks so I can see which queries are slowing the activity stream as things scale. The database has grown quite a bit recently with groups and interactions, so that’s probably a big factor. I’m testing this while building out a community section alongside my own project (smokeycloudz.com), so performance tuning has been a learning process. I’ll share more details once I have some numbers
