[deleted] Is there anything we can do about the speed here ? I've even stripped all extensions and it's the same, which doesn't make any sense to me at all.
In the past, focus has been on the extension API. Now that we're approaching stable and a lot of that is squared away, we've gained the ability to try working on other stuff, like performance. @SychO has been working on fixing a N+1 query problem, and has also updated an extension that allows profiling and debugging performance issues. For the coming release we're also planning some updates to the tags extension that fix a performance issue there.
There's a lot that can be done with optimizing performance, and with providing tools to developers so they don't introduce issues in extensions. I'm hoping to see great improvements in the coming releases, but the first step is investigating and finding issues.
By the way, when you disabled all extensions, what kind of numbers did you get? Obviously this isn't a sustainable solution, but it'd be interesting to see how the load is distributed.
[deleted] What shocked me somewhat was that NodeBB also has a native RSS to post plugin which works flawlessly, but that's another story. NodeBB is running under (of course) NodeJS, MongoDB, and a reverse NGINX proxy.
It wouldn't be that difficult to create a 2 way fees support plugin (posting from feed AND providing a feed), but personally I don't have time to maintain it. If anyone is interested in taking this on, I'd be happy to help them through the process.
