Cleaning Up, Slowdowns

 
From: "John Collins" <john@PROTECTED>
Date: February 7th 2010
I finally got around to upgrading from 3.03 to 4.02 this week.  It looks like a great upgrade, but my sending speed dropped from about 7,000per hour to under 4,000per hour for a 160kb email, taking over 7 hours for my list of 29k.  Of course, it may be a busy ISP/hosting/server issue so I won't know for sure until I average it over a couple of sends.

What I was wondering was if there was any reason that v4 would slow it down.  I saw it wrote to a log that was recording all of the mail as it was being sent (can't find where it's stored),  That list didn't show any errors, all 29+k went out smoothly, but I wondered if it took precious time to write to that log. I could do without it.

I've been using Dada for several years now and and occasionally clean up and delete some of the old logs.  They're no longer relevant.  I did find however, that the ,tmp folder contained 43,247 items that spot checking revealed that most were old.  Is there any reason not to delete everything in this folder?  The cache folder, within the .tmp folder did contain some more current items.  Can I delete this, too? 

Anything else I can clean up and eliminate to speed it up?  I regularly delete older items in the clickthrough log and even the bounce log.

FWIW, a couple of months ago I was having a problem with click-through tracking on the list I've been using since I started using the program.  The db (mysql) had many, many more rows for that list than the other more recently created lists. So I created a new list and migrated all of the subscribers to it from the old and all is working again.  I did lose the archive attached to the old, but that's not important.
