Lately I had noticed that it took a really long time to create new entries. Last week I started getting that 500 Internal Server Error whenever I tried to add a new entry or rebuild pages. The error logs said something like “premature end of script headers”. Working with the tech support guys at the hosting company wasn’t much help. If you noticed a lot of “test” entries over the weekend, that was us trying to figure something out. I use the free version of Movable Type, so I don’t think I could’ve gotten any help from them. In the end I figured that it may have something to do with how long it was taking for the script to execute.

A couple of days ago I discovered that Movable Type 3.34 would be released any day now. The release notes promised a performance increase of up to 15 times faster. I installed it today. I tried rebuilding the site and the process is sooo much faster than what is was before. So far I’m not getting any errors. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
