Description of problem: bugzilla.redhat.com is consistently slow to load, and particularly slow to create a bug. This has been the case for a long while now, although I've only got frustrated enough to raise this bug today! :-) I think the facility itself is very good, but the performance (whether it be the back-end database, the hardware hosting it, the web server (ssl, etc), or a combo) is really not a good advertisement for bugzilla, MySQL, or indeed RHEL. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.18-rh How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
James, are you referring to the time taken from clicking Submit the bug report until you get the bug submitted page (with the redirect to the submitted report) ?
Well, trying not to sound too critical, it's all pretty slow. Queries are slow, even when you open a bug ("Enter Bug (expert)"), it takes a relatively long time to load all the values for the fields (for example "product" and "version"). I don't have quantitative data, but it just isn't "snappy", like google, for example. I realize google doesn't use RDBMS's for it's search, but I'd still expect subsecond query response time. I realize SSL adds a major overhead though.
Moving to new server in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned.
