karma released Nucleus 3.1 after a SQL security problem is found.

After doing some benchmarking, I found my blog is really slow.

After more detail benchmarking, I found NP_MostPopular and NP_WeatherReport are the offending parties. I re-implemented MostPopular and the author of WeatherReport added caching. This lessened the processing time.

The proceesing time is cut from 1.2+ seconds (sometimes even 4-10) to ~.6 second now. A very good improvement.

Nucleus 3.01 is out. I upgraded first thing since it is a security update.

My Duron 950 server got a CPU fan failure over the weekend, and I took the chance to get 2 new 80Gb HDD to upgrade the existing 15G s/w RAID.

I am upgraded to Fedora Core 2 now as well, running a 50Gb RAID-1 on / and a LVM of 2 partitions of about 50Gb in total for /tmp.

So far so good.

Now, maybe I can get the TV capture card working in 2.6 kernel.

[update]
Fedora 2's 2.6.6 kernel comes with sa7133 driver already! Cool!
