I don't know where the bottle neck is, I've got a super fast computer, judging by performance on other forums, and SRP is like dial up in 1999. A real PITA. :borg:

It must be on your end, I am doing fine.
Fine here,may be a neurological thing Jim:)
Load times are abysmal, Jim.
I might add this is no new thing.
Just sayin'
Maybe you guys have to much tech.I have AOL still and my puter is faster than a snake.
There was high load on the server but two hours before this thread and looks like it was caused by one of the hourly cron tasks. That task runs 6 times an hour so it's probably poor handling of an exception/error and I'll investigate it further.
But if you were having issues around when you posted this thread, that was not it.

I hope Jimmy is just re-booting his computer & didn't get pi$$ed at us Cajun,,,:shrug:
come back Jimmy, we love ya man,,,,,:beer1:
I would work on prep, perhaps shower first or use a hot towel.
Too many mods sucking up all the good bandwidth.
It is running fast for me this morning, but it is early yet ....... :beer2: Remember the old dial up days ? What a hassle that was. Waiting for photos to load ..... the wheel of death spinning ..... it was intolerable.
If it makes you feel any better Jimmy our ISP was having trouble yesterday all day. First sites were slow to load and later none would load but this morning everything is normal again, fast.

No loading issues in the upper Midwest.
East coast??
256-600 baud modem, the lightening leap ahead in tech of the 14.4, the awe inspiring 56.6, UseNet, selecting files and going away for hours waiting for them to download, to only get incomplete files, or a dropped connection. The terrible lessons people learned forgetting to turn their call waiting off.
Remember putting together the companies first website, and getting called a, "file size Nazi" for not letting the homepage be over 25k....having to tell the graphics guys that they had to use a 16 color palette, because that's all Mozilla, and later Netscape would support, these huge palette's being used off the Mac's then, where 99% of the colors weren't supported yet added huge filesie weights...yup the early 90's, what a great time, before that dink Kurt Cobain came around and ruined the whole thing....:D
I first started with AOL (training wheels) running Windows 95. I used to freak when this pop up would come up ........ thought they were coming to get me and I didn't DO anything :gaah:

Hahaha....I started on Unix, still love it, "magic cookies" and all, used to have a dual boot system using DOS only and Linux..Mozilla was the browser, then Netscape blew everyone's mind, the IE came out, version 1.0, and a fellow project manager stood up from his pod, and proclaimed, "Microsoft will not be a player in the Internet", many agreed, myself and most others openly laughed at him...a year later we had t-shirts made with this on it and his name, 25 years later, he still has not lived this down.
Oh...and the Mac folks, accusing MS of stealing everything, they didn't like it when it was pointed out the Jobs stole most of his stuff from Xerox, who had the whole bag of gold, and didn't see it...the mouse, email, the GUI...still like Gates quote in talking with Jobs, "we both stole the TV set from the Xerox house, only you got there first."
Those were some fun times...now every 25 year old has a blog and is a web developer...sheesh...I had to learn GTML, then HTML, when it would change almost every week, and we used to use Notepad to code...remember pounding some sets of coding standards, no using authoring tools, no absolute paths in the code, only relative paths...was an awful lot of fun!
The illegal operation, or on one of my old computers, the Amiga, great machine, the Guru Meditation error, or always one of my favorites, someone's voice coming over your modem speaker, "click, click, click, Helllooooo...the phone's busted".
Also found out in the C64 and Vic20 days, the telco companies don't like it when you hop on their phone networks and pretend to be various type of operators, or pretend to be a pay phone...that wasn't fun when I was 15 years old....did you ever get the blue screen of death? And how many times did we do, and still do, the Vulcan salute, control, ALT, Delete!
Jimmy, that's probably your computer struggling under the load of loading 24,000 srp posts :D
that's easy to fix, he'll have the counter to 25000 in another minute or two

Any time I hear about slow speeds or server issues bogging down activity, I think of this...

It's been my experience that SRP has been consistently crisp, clean, smooth and fast....very unlike my shaves :cry:
Yeah It's running like a Hamilton 950 for me this morning. The wheel that squeaks gets the grease ...... :beer2:
Yes! The forum just got a swift kick in the arse!
WOW! Combine that with your posts on other forums, Jimmy! Give us a number!:D
Well...last couple of days...the forum has been very slow for me....anyone else?
Also, isn't there a way to change the default settings of the site to eliminate the side bar...I'm wondering if the ad server can't keep up, and as a result, is slowing the entire site down.
Thanks!
I don't think the ads are the problem - they're asynchronous (the page doesn't have to wait for them) and the adserver is google (serving ads is what they're all about).
I think the problem is with the hosting provider. They still haven't fixed the serious networking problems they've had since over a month ago and I just received an update earlier today that they're postponing the network upgrade previously scheduled for the 27th.
It is also not widespread slowness otherwise everybody would notice it, and that localization is indicative more of a networking problem rather than general one.
I do monitor the performance quite closely and while the average page loads have increased by about 10%-20% recently, that's not very perceptible, so what is happening most likely - it's ok for most and really bad for very small group so the average is slightly up.
In any case, I most certainly don't find poor performance acceptable, but at this point the possible fix is too painful - switching to a different hosting means all the data has to be transferred over degraded network. If I thought it'd take over a month and a half I'd probably have just done it, but at this point I'm hoping that they'll finally fix it. Once that's done a lot of uncertainty as what may be wrong would go away.
Sorry Gugi - I probably should have just PM'd you.
Agree, my trace route seems good to your site...not many hops, but ping return is slow...and yea...Google is your ad server, of course, should have known...no problem there.
Glad for the tip from Max though!
