[Naviserver-users] wow! moved to navi5

[Decent E. <dec...@gm...>]

 Today we moved our production server https://decentespresso.com/ from
navi4.99 (built 6 years ago) to release navi5.

Wow, it’s quite a bit faster.

I’m also curious to see if:
1 - the slowly growing memory footprint of nsd 4.99 is no longer happening
2 - if nsd no longer occasionally crashes

Due to much increased load on the server due to AI company spiders, we made
the move.  We also moved all media file serving to a separate nginx
process, just to remove a possible cause, and to reduce the possible causes.

Every once in a while with nsd 4.99, we’d see a huge spike in cpu
utilization, and couldn’t see anything in the access logs that was a likely
cause.

I do realize that #1 could be caused by my own code, or poor tracking of
ns_cache.

The only thing to figure out for us, is the “untrusted” https domains we
host (we have a *.decentespresso.com ssl cert) and that looks like a config
change, as the warnings indicate.

And I believe that ns_cache is now deprecated, so I should look at
replacing that.  I make heavy use of this:

proc content_cache {cachename codetorun} {
if {[cookie_get "decent_admin"] != "" || [decentliveserver] == 0} {
return [eval $codetorun]
}

return [ns_cache_eval tempfile $cachename $codetorun]
}

on pages that use big mysql queries to render.

Anything else big in navi5 that I should jump on?
