Runs taking longer than expected? #76

Closed star-glider closed 1 year ago

Thanks for the fantastic software! This might not actually be an issue, but I figured I'd ask just in case. I've got a pretty tiny single-user instance (only follow about 50 people so far; I'm pretty new to Mastodon). First run took several hours as expected, but subsequent runs now all take anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes. Even back-to-back runs take that long, even though only maybe three or four toots have entered my timeline in that time.

Is this expected or indicative of a potential problem? I don't see any errors in the output. I did have to raise my http-timeout variable above the default 5 to address some timeout issues, so perhaps it's just that my server (a low-spec DigitalOcean instance) is just pokey (although the load average and CPU usage are minimal). I'd say, on average, based on watching stout, it adds about two or three context URLs per second.

Thanks again for this project! I've only been playing with it for about a day, but it's made a huge difference. This should be included in every single-user instance FAQ.

Eh, disregard. After about a dozen runs, it seemed to settle down to ~5 minutes like everyone says. I'm closing.
