[Mailman-Users] Strange Load Problems with Mailman

[Geoffrey Kleinman]

All,

Also I've just installed Mailman (2.1b1) an imported all my members. But
when I do a general
'listinfo' via the web python goes crazy and consumes almost
100% of my dual processor system. The page also loads VERY SLOW.

Here's the info from TOP:

  4:12pm  up 1 day, 18:08,  1 user,  load average: 1.00, 0.74, 0.66
235 processes: 225 sleeping, 6 running, 4 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 41.9% user, 27.8% system,  8.3% nice, 21.8% idle
Mem:  2061788K av, 1752960K used,  308828K free,       0K shrd,   20144K
buff
Swap:  417680K av,       0K used,  417680K free                 1304284K
cached

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
11681 nobody    15   0 86908  84M  1080 R       0 97.0  4.2   0:15 python

We are running Mailman 2.1b2 and Python 2.1.3 on Redhat 6.2 w/ kernel 2.4.17
(SMP)

Our lists are pretty big - 290K total but the individual list pages (for the
smaller lists:
http://mailman.kleinman.com/listinfo/rce ) load very quickly

We have yet to do a test mailing to our lists and wanted to make sure
everything is set, optimized and working before we see if Mailman/Qmail can
send to a 80K list.

Thanks in advance for your help.
