KF performance problems continue.

Posted on November 1, 2012 by jaye

User reported KF was unusable between the hours of 11:00 – 1:15. Checked MRTG graphs, nothing at all. Poured through the config file. Increased the number of DB connections to 16. Also increased the logging detail to “debugging” level.
