[Mailman-Users] slow web administration

[Tremaine Lea]

Hey there folks,

Not sure if anyone else has run across this issue, but it's slowly
driving me batty.  I currently have mailman 2.0.9-1 running on a Xeon
800 with 500 megs of ram.  It has a single mailing list with roughly
450,000 subscribers.  

I've found that accessing the web interface for administration is
incredibly slow.  Is there any way to speed that up, or to handle
pending admin tasks from the command line?  When watching system
processes, I notice that python takes up virtually all available CPU
when it's loading the web interface.

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Tremaine
