            Bug ID: 9988
           Summary: Unneeded timeouts when saving authorities (Can we
                    merge smarter?)
    Classification: Unclassified
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: MARC Authority data support
          Assignee: gmcharlt at gmail.com
          Reporter: m.de.rooy at rijksmuseum.nl

When saving an authority used in many biblios, Koha may have a timeout due to
updating all those bib records.
But in case I just update e.g. a 551 tag for the auth record, there is no need
at all to update all those bib records.

We should have a smarter merge function in C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm.
Note that you could use the pref to move updating all biblios to a cron job.
Wouldn't it be nicer if we could do something in between? If we really need to
update a handful of records, do it rightaway. If we really (!!) need to update
2000 records (in my example Koha is updating 2000 records for nothing), we
could perhaps leave that to a cron job.
