Hi All,

To follow up on this, we've started collecting performance data on webwork servers at

http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/WeBWorK_performance

It would be really helpful if you could add the timing log data from your server here. To do so go to

webwork2/logs/

and run

webwork2/bin/timing_log_check.pl timing.log

Also, if you never noticed this timing log before you might find that it is very large and you might want to set up a logrotate/chron job to rotate this log every month or so and generate a timing log report.

(E.g. the timing log on my server that I just posted the report on was 6.6 GB and contained data on 4,664,624 requests over a year and a half!)

If you do generate such reports regularly, please add them to the wiki!

Thanks,
Jason
