Topic: Slowdown same time every day?

I have a client with a fairly large forum database.

At about 5 AM EDT, their forums get really slow and there are several mysql processes all open at once.

I was wondering if there was some sort of internal function that punbb runs every 24 hours?

I checked and there is not a cron job that runs parallel to this occurrence.

Am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Re: Slowdown same time every day?

It's certainly not something in PunBB. I'd advise you to check the slow query log of MySQL and find the source of those queries.

At what time does punbb handle pruning?

Re: Slowdown same time every day?

PunBB has no cron job

Re: Slowdown same time every day?

PunBB handles pruning as and when you hit the prune button. A slow down like that would normally be someone or something else hogging resources.

Are you sure the servers aren't doing a scheduled backup or something at that time.

Re: Slowdown same time every day?

Yup, check the cron. 5AM seems like a good time to have a heavy backup, or something like that, scheduled.
