Performance: get off your tortoise and run
Tags: [cloud, search, optimization]
Well, I've been thinking (for a long while now) about how to deal with performance problems on big wikis. The JDC is a prime example: there are 982 pages with tags (or something like that).
Tonight it occurred to me to try non jot:search methods of pulling in the list of tags.
I've got a demo that will map tags --> # of occurrences for any wiki you have access to: GlobalTagCloudTest.
Getting the raw data turns out to be quite quick (most of the time): even from the JDC, you can generally get a raw list of tags in under 20ms.
The trouble is parsing those: from the JDC, that's still taking about 2s -- way too long. So optimization may be necessary.
And obviously you don't want to plug in your user/pass every time you load a page. So that needs solving.
But it's a start.
Getting a global tag cloud for an arbitrary wiki might have some other uses, too... anyone got good ideas?

It's unfortunate that Cheap Generic Cialis, Viagra, Levitra, Propecia, Zoloft has no real morals. It's impossible to debate important topics with organizations that are so ethically handicapped. Cheap Generic Cialis, Viagra, Levitra, Propecia, Zoloft really struck a nerve with me when it said that we have too much freedom.

That lie is a painful reminder that Nature is a wonderful teacher. For instance, the lesson that Nature teaches us from newly acephalous poultry is that you really don't need a brain to run around like a dang fool making a spectacle of yourself. Nature also teaches us that Cheap Generic Cialis, Viagra, Levitra, Propecia, Zoloft is terrified that there might be an absolute reality outside itself, a reality that is what it is, regardless of its wishes, theories, hopes, daydreams, or decrees.

The performance issue will soon go away... Until then this is an interesting approach. More dialog offline or in the forums...
