    Hello,

    I have recently changed some of my wordpress's links using 301 redirects. Before redirect rules were like this only
    redirect 301 /2008/07/ http://www.nannu.info/music/2008/07/
    redirect 301 /2008/06/ http://www.nannu.info/music/2008/06/
    redirect 301 /2008/05/ http://www.nannu.info/music/2008/05/
    redirect 301 /2008/04/ http://www.nannu.info/music/2008/04/
    Code (markup):
    but as soon as i put rules like this
    RedirectMatch 301 /tag/(.*) /music/artists//$1
    Code (markup):
    I am facing 400% increase in server load and webpages are also loading very slow.

    What should I do?
