Yeah, I'm wondering if something from the latest update is causing edits and comments to time out. That seems to be when things are slowing down.

Hmm that's strange. I've restarted the database service, since it was started since long time, maybe it accumulated some issues, a fresh start may help.


Do you mean the new make system? That was more than a month ago, slowdowns on edits were much more recent than that. In the last days there were two new agressive bots, these didn't help for sure, but possibly there is something else.
Maybe we hit again a limit of the current server, at some point the growing of the site may cause an issue for the current architecture, limiting useless vehicles would be easier than finding real solutions
