The ikiwiki server hosting this forum seems to take much longer to finish posting a message/comment than it used to. Not a big deal, but wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

Ikiwiki slows down the more files there are, so removing old closed bug reports and comments on them periodically is mostly how this is dealt with. I've deleted ones from before 2020, which shrank the number of files by 10%.
It's worth noting that 1/3 of the remaining files are in this forum, more than the remaining bugs+todos. Of course splitting it is an option, but I wonder how useful 10 year old posts in it actually are..
To be clear, I've only removed comments on old closed bug reports that were also removed. Not old comments generally.
It does seem at least possible that compiling a comment thread into a single page might speed up ikiwiki.
