RE: This site's performance
I tried to switch my JVM to BEA's JRockit last night, but had no luck - Tomcat wouldn't start, so I switched back to Sun's JVM. However, I was running 1.4 and I switched to 1.4.1. Performance seems to be better, and there aren't very many errors in my catalina.out file (this is a symlink to the file) since last night. I guess we'll have to see how the site holds up
throughout the day. I didn't install Jikes because it's an RPM and I believe Keith has to install those. Also, after Chris's comments, I'm a little less inclined to make the change.
I also have a few questions for Dave regarding both #showTrackbackURL($entry) and #showLinkbacks( $day ). First, how is the Trackback URL supposed to be used? Are folks expected to use this to link to an entry of mine (vs. a permalink), or what? Why should I display it like Lance does? Secondly, the showLinkbacks($day) macro is not present in any of my local *.vm files. Maybe I deleted it by accident. Which template should it be in?
Later: So if I understand this correctly, a Trackback is basically a way of telling someone you've referred to them, and your entry will show up in their comments. Whereas as a Linkback is a feature that checks referrers for URLs linking back to your site? Now I just need to find out where my #showLinkbacks() macro disappeared to.
