May 2006

System load has been reduced significantly with the recasting by Tim Smith of how tagged pages are created and presented out of the SQL database. In short, the Active Matter system was programmed to select all tags (nearly 500,000), and then eliminate those that were not relevant to the page in question. Tim re-wrote the procedure to select only the relevant tags in the first place. We continue to look at system load issues, but further enhancements a) probably would not gain us that much performance improvement, and b) will obviated by the move to Collage.
