<p>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%.</p>
<p>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..</p>

Being able to search through old comments has actually been useful at times. If what matters is the number of files and not their total size, maybe the text of the removed comments could be merged into one still-searchable file?

<p>To be clear, I've only removed comments on old closed bug reports that were
also removed. Not old comments generally.</p>
<p>It does seem at least possible that compiling a comment thread into a
single page might speed up ikiwiki.</p>
