Error Message
Symptom
Searches are very slow, therefore viewing the dashboard is very slow, but otherwise performance is okay.
Probably only applies to Linux and maybe other Unix based systems.
Index Queue sometimes contains too many entries and entries that are too old
Diagnostics/Test
Check the .timestamp file in your Confluence home's index directory to see if it is up-to-date, and changing about once every minute.
Eg
$ ls -l your_confluence_home/index/.timestamp -rw-r--r-- 1 username groupname 0 2007-08-21 17:37 index/.timestamp
If the date given is in the past, then the .timestamp is not being updated appropriately.
If the user listed is not the user that runs confluence, there's a good chance that is the problem.
Root Cause
http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-9228
The Java method Confluence uses to set the last modified date on the .timestamp file sometimes fails if it is not running as the owner of the file, even when the user does have permission to edit the file.
Solution
Delete the .timestamp file.
