Hey been with phpbb since 2004 so transferring a decent size forum. Right now I’m two days in 303139/2167314 (14%) 446 per min. How can I speed it up? I’m on digital ocean and only using 4% CPU. Redis keeps timing out on me. I have have attachments turned off.

[画像] Ethsim2: the bottleneck may be database I/O, the source phpBB MySQL query side, Most of the time, this is it. I’ve been able to speed up the import by adding indexes, creating views, and tweaking the database settings. I suggest you invest a bit of time on that because if you find an err…

Still moving along though! var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/phpbb3/importer.rb:38:in 'ImportScripts::PhpBB3::Importer#execute' /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:47:in 'ImportScripts::Base#perform' /var/www/discourse/script/import_scripts/phpbb3/importer.rb:22:in 'ImportScripts…
