[Mailman-Users] hi resource usage

[Roelf]

Hi

We have 23 lists. The biggest is 200-250 e-mails during working hours.
Then we have 3 or 4 with 50-75 e-mails a day. The rest is small 0-10
mails a day.

I was running mailman 2.0.9 with no problems. After upgrading to mailman
2.1b3, mailman was running as a daemon and took the server straight to
hell.

I run FreeBSD 4.7-PRE with Mailman-2.0.14. The box is a 500MHz with
256MB and
runs a whole lot other services but sincerely speaking I haven't seen a
problem
with Mailman. maybe this is because 

1. My lists are not big/busy enough
2. I haven't caught the archiver process in action.


On another box with 2.1b3 (FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE, Python-2.2.1, 1.4GHz,
256MB RAM)
I also haven't had this problem.

How large are your lists and how busy?



        cheers
