Slow Response on RSS


!Friendica Support
I'm having some trouble subscribing to a new RSS feed from Friendica.

The URL is https://www.cbc.ca/webfeed/rss/rss-topstories

I run Friendica behind an nginx reverse proxy, and it's giving me a gateway timeout error.

I know that the whole reverse proxy thing isn't specifically a Friendica thing and I'm working on figuring out how to increase the timeout, but the fact that the response is taking long enough to trigger it is.

Please have got a look at your database settings. Possibly you can improve some values there.

@Michael Vogel I'll have a look at that, but I'm unclear about what causes it to be such a database intensive operation in the first place.

I really ought to get around to re-learning PHP so that I can contribute in more substantial ways.

@Michael Vogel Again, I'd need a better understanding of the implementation, but could the DB schema be changed in future versions to make it less so? I noticed some pretty drastic performance improvements in 2023.12.

I've got an idea how to improve the performance for this task. I could try at the weekend.
