Specifically, meta populates a per-page `%metaheaders` hash +>>> as well as storing per-page metadata in `%pagestate`. So, if you have +>>> a wiki with a thousand pages, and you add a 1k site-wide license text, +>>> that will bloat the memory usage of ikiwiki by in excess of 2 +>>> megabytes. It will also cause ikiwiki to write a similar amount more data +>>> to its state file which has to be loaded back in each +>>> run. +>>> +>>> Seems that this could be managed much more efficiently by having +>>> meta special-case the site-wide settings, not store them in these +>>> per-page data structures, and just make them be used if no per-page +>>> metadata of the given type is present. --[[Joey]]
