Title: 'IssueNo0784? links catalog field causing slow updates in plone sites' => IssueNo0784 zwiki + epoz may cause slow updates in plone sites
Category: zwiki: general => general
Severity: normal => serious
workaround --SimonMichael, Sun, 18 Apr 2004 10:35:56 -0700 reply
delete the links index and metadata from portal_catalog in the ZMI
fixed in 0.30 --simon, Mon, 26 Apr 2004 16:50:38 -0700 reply
Status: open => closed
