[Phpgroupware-users] phpWebHosting scaleability

[Steven Wright]

I just tried to use phpWebHosting as a filemanager tool for an extremely
large file tree (on the order of 50k files) and brought the machine to its
knees.  (Obviously, I didn't add each of those files through phpGW, but
used a perl script to populate the database, then I went in to look at the
results.)  Looking at the mysql logs, phpGW seems to be doing a query on
every file in the tree, regardless of whether it is in the current
directory or not.

Has anyone dealt with this before?  Are all of those queries needed for
each page?  If it was just working on the files in the current directory,
I think it would be okay.

Thanks,
Steve Wright
