Are newer versions slower or am i experiencing problems

[Marcel Montel]

Hi

We are running Confluence 3.5.13 and some old version of Jira as well, i have upgraded on another machine with latest versions and i think its really slow compared to the 3.x version.

Same virtual machine specs, database is on same server.. checked for database lags, tried some debugging, done some tweaks in apache but does not really seem to help.

Suggestions / Help

Thanks

Check how much memory you are allocating to the JVM on the current instances. Newer versions are much more hungry for RAM than versions of that era and if you're using the stock settings, I'd bet that's your problem. Try increasing the max heap value and possibly the permgen. The stock settings are fine for an empty instance, but likely not adequate for an instance with a lot of data and users on it.

I have done so but to no luck.
I think my problem could be the Apache + mod_proxy + NameVirtualHost + SSL setup.

Jira takes about 10! seconds to load, confluence a bit faster now.

Hi Marcel,

Just adding to what Dave said, we ship Confluence with 512mb, which for an empty instance is fine. However if you have more data there, you might want to have a look in this documentation to increase the JVM memory:

Increase JVM memory.
