Lemmy.ml is much snappier after the recent upgrade (lemmy.ml)

This is just to followup from my prior post on latencies increasing with increasing uptime (see here).

There was a recent update to lemmy.ml (to 0.19.4-rc.2) ... and everything is so much snappier. AFAICT, there isn't any obvious reason for this in the update itself(?) ... so it'd be a good bet that there's some memory leak or something that slows down some of the actions over time.

Also ... interesting update ... I didn't pick up that there'd be some web-UI additions and they seem nice!

For the moment at least. Whatever problem we had before, it seemed to get worse over time, eventually requiring a restart. So we’ll have to wait and see.

My server seems to get slower until requiring a restart every few days, hoping this provides a fix for me too 🤞

Try switching to Postresql 16.2 or later.

What’s new in postgres?

Nothing particular, but there was a strange bug in previous versions that in combination with Lemmy caused a small memory leak.

Well, I've been on this instance through a few updates now (since Jan 2023) and my impression is that it's a pretty regular pattern (IE, certain APIs like that for replying to a post/comment or even posting have increasing latencies as uptime goes up).

Sounds exactly like the problem I fixed and mostly caused
