[xwiki-users] RSS macro make the entire site to hang

[Ludovic Dubost]

Hi,

There is not much XWiki can do if a RSS feed displayed in a page is slow 
or does not respond.
We have improved a little XWiki's behavior by adding a timeout (default 
to 60 seconds) in the latest trunk code.

However this won't completely solve your problem.
If you want to solve it, you want either to use a cache (this exists in 
the FeedPlugin) or to use the FeedPlugin's capability of storing RSS 
Feeds in Wiki pages.
Checkout the FeedPlugin API
