[Dspace-general] Dspace: scaling ?

[David Palmer]

We have one instance of Dspace hosting 200,000 items and find that search &
browsing are unacceptable slow.  It uses Dspace 1.4, PostreSQL, on a Sun
E10K (8 x CPU, 8gb RAM).  Are others running large numbers of items in
Dspace?  How can we get better performance?

We have another instance of Dspace 1.3 hosting about 20,000 items which is
doing "ok", but could be better.

Thanks
