Hi Howard,
thanks for your Tipp with the forum messages. I think we should check the notfications configuration. There are a huge numbers of entries in the table where mails are send. Maybe we can change everthing to "offline" in the email column to reduce mailing.
>What makes you think that ad-hoc tasks are an issue for your system? What have you found?
Thats quite easy. We checked the load of cronjobs with ad-hoc tasks enabled and disabled : )
And you´re right. After enable it again, the load explode until the tasks have run for the first time. But when you do this in the Evening there are less users online an the system is still available.
cheers Thorsten
