<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">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?).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Any ideas on what might slow down loading time of records and search speed?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Jessika</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><b><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></b></div><div dir="ltr"><b><font face="georgia, serif">Jessika Drmacich </font></b><div><b><font face="georgia, serif"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Records Manager </span><span style="font-size:12.8px">& </span><span style="font-size:12.8px">Digital Resources Archivist </span></font></b></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><b><font face="georgia, serif">Williams College Libraries</font></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><b><font face="georgia, serif">Special Collections</font></b></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><b><font face="georgia, serif">413-597-4725 (o)</font></b></span></div></div><div><b style="font-size:12.8px"><font face="georgia, serif">she/her/hers</font></b><br></div><div><font color="#000000" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><i><br></i></font></div><div><font color="#000000" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><i>Please Note: Due to COVID-19 library services have changed.
