Missing Cells from home page

So i found something that worked. I know this runs on PHP. On the file /etc/php.ini I changed the following line. Things seem to be much more responsive now.

memory_limit = 256M

Was 128M.

mmm, php? how so?
you mean on your server?

Cells is only running with go, there is no more php involved whatsoever

sorry if it seems like i repeat that,
but did you set this ulimit -n 8192.

I remember php-fpm being a requirement during the installation. Had to be a certain version i thought? But no i didn’t set the ulimit.

The only other thing i did was remove --log-production. And i restarted cells. I tried changing the process priority, but that didn’t seem to have an effect.
I tried to alter the server start command to be: nice -n -20 cells start
But it didn’t like that in the service.

now i’m pretty sure the --log-production option was slowing it down. Major difference with it on or off.
