6.8. Special Optimizations

The directive AdaptiveStoragePolicy in stormcellar.conf is recommended to be set on bool. This is a yes/no version of the adaptive storage now available to &StormCellar and Tornado Back End. In this mode, only articles from groups that are actually read will be stored. This will typically result in a 30% reduction of disk load on the back end, with a corresponding 30% increase in retention, with zero customer awareness/impact (by definition, the groups are never read, so no customers care about the content not being stored).
