Another problem was the internal notification processing of mantis when you have a "lot" of members.
Instead of using database queries (something which is the key feature of a db) to select the addresses to send mail to, it loaded all members as php object in memory and filters out all addresses based on user preference. This is time consuming, and has a severe impact on memory usage of the server.
