Summary: Access to pages is slow under high load on the security cache
Issue Type: cid:jira-generated-image-avatar-6dc9aa83-77b5-4fc8-b051-bccbbc4b1c82 Bug
Affects Versions: 16.4.6
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: Security
Created: 17/Mar/25 10:20
Priority: cid:jira-generated-image-static-critical-b7adca4c-7c53-467d-b8b5-6b6bd5be5d9b Critical
Reporter: Michael Hamann
Description:

Steps to reproduce:

Unclear, will try to find proper reproductions steps/a load test later.

The key conditions seem to be a high write load on the security cache, caused, e.g., by a lot of notifications being dispatched with a high user count which causes rights checks for all of them whose results are inserted into the security cache. At the same time, a high number pages are viewed and some pages are modified, causing invalidations in the security cache.

Expected result:

Accessing pages, in particular pages that are frequently visited, is still fast.

Actual result:

Loading any page takes 20-30 seconds.
