I installed Redmine 1.4 on Windows Server 2003 and MySQL. As after some time the instance became used by more people, I needed another one for testing (i.e. a development environment). As I also wanted to be able to test plugins without the risk of destroying the production Redmine instance, I copied the original Redmine (say redmine_prod
) folder to another one (say redmine_devel
). I created a new, empty Redmine database for redmine_devel
. I only defined production
environment in the first one and development
in the second. Both instances run on Webrick started as Windows service, on different ports. Yet, there is a big difference in performance of both these instances - the old, production one runs very fast, whereas development runs slowly (several seconds to bring up pages, which doesn't alter with time).
I also tested running redmine_devel
on thin server, which doesn't improve the performance a bit.
What can be the reason? They both run in literally same conditions.
Any hints appreciated.
