[Archivesspace_Users_Group] RAM for ArchivesSpace server

[Jessika Drmacich]

Thanks to all that responded. We have an issue where our AS instance slows
down considerably after about a month of adding data (new collections,
digital objects, a large number of accessions). After our systems person
adds more RAM, the system speeds up considerably. I was wondering if we
should add more RAM every three weeks. But it seems like, based on your
answers, RAM might not be the source of our speed issue (but somehow
connected?).

Any ideas on what might slow down loading time of records and search speed?
