Automated Archive of News Releases

I have a MCMS 2002 sp2 site that has two different sections of news
items, college news and athletics news. I am trying to impliment an
automated archive. I have tried it two different ways that both
functionally worked but they spiked the CPU usage to 100%. There are
several thousand postings in each channel.

Idea 1) On page load created a collection of all the postings in the
channel and itterated through them to find the desired year. Put the
desired postings in an arraylist and bound that to a repeater. ( I
expected this to be performance heavy). Maxed out CPU at 100%

Idea 2) Added custom properties to the posting for the release date. On
page load look in the cache to see if a dataset exists if it doesn't go
to the server and recreate the dataset of just the postings for the
year that you are looking for. It basically stores many smaller
datasets in the cache one for each year. Still with the 100% cpu usage.
In this instance I am searching for the posting by doing a custom
property search.

Does anyone have any best practices for creating an automated archive
of news releases. If you want to see what I am trying to do in action
it is up temporarily at http://www.anselm.edu/athletics/Sports+News/

I am at a loss as to teh best way to do this.

Hi,

you need to stay below 300 postings per channel to be in a supported
environment.
