Gerrit has been slower than before for the past week or so. Symptoms: * Loading my dashboard can take 15+ seconds (subsequent reloads are faster, which indicates that it is cached) * Similarly loading commits or changes filed sometimes take a long time * git pull/review times out - especially annoying when updating mediawiki extensions when you might need to rerun the script multiple times, and it messes up the l10n-bot. I'm seeing the first two all around the days, while the last one seems to happen usually in European evenings - perhaps these two are not related but for now I am assuming they are.
There were several reports on gerrit becoming slowish for other sites as well (e.g.: [1]). Upstream is working on it. There is at least one bug in jgit that they are hunting down. By what I've read, restarting gerrit seems to fix this kind of problems for some time. If we restart gerrit, could someone with access to this data please at least grab show-{chaches,connections,queues}? Since gerrit reported database connection problems at some other point, it would also be interesting to see statistics on the database side.

Christan and Chad talked about it yesterday. I have not closely followed the conversation though.
There's nothing really specific we could ever unearth here. I'm going to mark this as fixed with the 2.7-rc2-505-g7502a46 deployment (which contains about a billion improvements to everything).
The l10n submissions tonight seems to have worked well as far as Zuul is concerned. So yeah, Gerrit looks faster to me :-]
I had a lot of trouble in Firefox with pages staying "loading..." forever, and no problems at all in Chrome. Out of 10 patch sets opened in firefox that are on my dashboard, no more than 3 or so would eventually display the patch set contents. Does anyone recognize this?
When we started with Gerrit I remember people had issues with Firefox, that might the root cause. I am myself using Safari and I believe most folks are using Chrome/Chromium nowadays, all those browsers are based on Webkit. Another issue was the syntax highlighting that cause server side slowness/timeout etc sometime. Specially on huge files such as Title.php or i18n messages files. I disabled syntax highlighting entirely. Hope this help.

Siebrand, this is bug 45267.
