Hmm, that is EXACTLY the experience of my sysadmin with our server - deleting old snapshots did precisely nothing, but starting a new server with no users and their attendant notebooks seems to be instantaneous. Looking at Trac a bit, I see something weird. It seems consistent with the timing of the downgrade in performance of the notebook on some machines that # 5291 was merged in 3.3.rc2, while # 5687 (and the fix at # 5703) does almost exactly the same thing as # 5291 while deleting # 5291's way of doing it. The efficiency issue of # 5300 has not been addressed. Tickets # 5371 and # 5459 are also relevant but would not necessarily be the immediate issue. So here are some questions. If someone starts a Sage process during an auto-save in a situation with not tons of memory and/or CPU, is all hope lost for a quick evaluation? Could the additional user created in a server situation exacerbate this problem by adding connection time by the server? How long does open(worksheet_txt).read() take, anyway, for a given text file, and how much processing power? And why would getting rid of notebook files make a difference if only the open worksheet(s) is (are) being auto-saved - is it somehow possible that other worksheets are being at least looked at (though not actually being updated since nothing has changed)? I hope at least one of these is non-stupid and helps lead to a resolution of this, but if not I certainly understand! - kcrisman --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
