Note that users with thousands of topics or who expect high loads should strongly consider using an external database rather than the version of HSQL that is pre-packaged with JAMWiki in order to maximize performance. In terms of page delivery, JAMWiki uses Ehcache, database optimizations, and numerous other methods to improve performance. While stress tests have not been performed to determine maximum loads, misconfigured search spiders that have generated multiple page requests per second have not caused any noticeable deterioration of site performance. Be aware that, as with any software, many factors including the content being rendered, hardware, etc will affec
