Setting for "Mark Topics Read" Time / Delay

[user86]

Hello, can you please let me know where - I assume it is hardcoded in a file - the setting / delay value for the "Mark Topics Read" feature is set? When my users mark unread topics as read it will take about 10 - 15 seconds to update.

There is no such delay anywhere in the code base.

If there's a delay it's either caching related or due to file locking in the database, in which case server tuning will be required... more details about your forum please.

I have Memcache enabled. Could this be the cause?

Can be related, but disabling it is usually a bad idea. How big is the forum? Are the tables using MyISAM or InnoDB? Are you still on 1.1.x for definite?

[user86]

Hello, I am on SMF 1.1.19. Most tables should be InnoDB and I have about 700.000 posts on the board.

What tables exactly are MyISAM and what are InnoDB?

Are you configured to log slow queries? (If so, what's in the slow query log?)
