> [@parisa](#): > > However again I need to say that this problem occurred very recently in my last update (discourse core + all plugin). So maybe its because of one of your new commits, or even commits to the core discourse that caused the problem? Aside from the changes I just made, none of my commits in the last few months to this plugin would have had an effect on performance. They were style and translation changes. So if there has been a noticeable deterioration in performance in those very large topics in the last few days, it is probably something core related. I can take a look in more detail at what might have caused this in core Discourse later this week, but you should raise this with the Discourse team. \*edit @parisa You may want to have a read of this topic: [Performance improvements on long topics?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/performance-improvements-on-long-topics/30187). Another host with a topic of a similar size (i.e. 4.5K posts) has the same issue: > [@Performance improvements on long topics?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/performance-improvements-on-long-topics/30187/13): > > Whats the performance impact of long threads? I have one that has escalated to 4.5K very rapidly and will keep escalating for at least 36 hours. Expecting thousands of messages, server is screaming. Will it help anything to close the thread and start a new one, a “part 2” to continue the discussion?
