-* Don't render blog archive pages unless a page is added/removed. Just
- changing a page doesn't affect the archives as they show only the title.
+Ikiwiki has already been optimised a lot, however..
* Look at splitting up CGI.pm. But note that too much splitting can slow
perl down.
-* The backlinks code turns out to scale badly to wikis with thousands of
- pages. The code is O(N^2)! It's called for each page, and it loops
- through all the pages to find backlinks.
+ > It's split enough, or possibly more than enough, now. :-)
- Need to find a way to calculate and cache all the backlinks in one pass,
- which could be done in at worst O(N), and possibly less (if they're
- stored in the index, it could be constant time). But to do this, there
- would need to be a way to invalidate or update the cache in these
- situations:
+* The backlinks calculation code is still O(N^2) on the number of pages.
+ If backlinks info were stored in the index file, it would go down to
+ constant time for iterative builds, though still N^2 for rebuilds.
- - A page is added. Note that this can change a backlink to point to
- the new page instead of the page it pointed to before.
- - A page is deleted. This can also change backlinks that pointed to that
- page.
- - A page is modified. Links added/removed.
