I upgraded the server and increased the number or processes handling requests. As a result, the site seem much more stable now but traffic is also down. I’m going to make some further changes on the server either tonight or Monday.
Poll: Has the website has been faster since 10/14?
-
Are things faster or not?
A good benchmark for me has been the “more stats” page which now seems to come up in no time.
-
Because of the problems I am having with my system I am not a good overall judge.
Most threads do seem faster even to me though, but GD is still problematic for me to access.
-
today has been great!
sometimes however, i find myself waiting for the dotted green bar to fill up……and waiting some more. hopefully thats a thing of the past. Hooray!

Was that today? How often did you have to wait? How long was the wait?
-
OK, even with my messed up system, things are moving better overall.
THANK YOU!

For me the site is moving slower. sometimes when i try to post a topic the computer just frezzes. IT has been really fast today but I never had the frezzing problems untill like a couple of weeks ago. but maybe its just my computer. thanks for keeping the website running smoothly though.
-
Posting moves tonight the dicey was much quicker. :-)

Well, the graph below explains it all. This is a cpu load graph. See where it flatlines? That is after the changes I made. Granted performance is not always going to be perfect but on average it will be good as opposed to previously when on average it was bad.
-
Yes, it has been leagues better since 10/14. No more bogging down or outright freezing up. Fine job! +1 Karma to the resident site diety.
-
much better
-
You know I never really had a problem before 10/14 …
-
It really depends on the time of day that you come to the site.

Seems a few of the threads take FOREVER to load in the General Discussion area all of a sudden.
My C++ Thread to be exact. (Only general discussion i tried other then this thread just now!)

@Cmdr:

I have been having that problem for quite some time.
Admittedly I am having problems with my PC, but I can access most topics, but GD is a serious problem for access for me.
-
Definitely a site issue…
I can’t access GD on my wife’s system either (which is not having the connection problems my PC is having).
-
I can, but some threads take a good five minutes to load, other are instantaneous. Just started yesterday as far as I can remember.
-
I can’t even bring up the GD forum page on either of my PC’s this evening.
-
And now it is working almost normal and I can access those GD threads…
Strange…
-
Yeah same here GD was screwy the other day. I guess it’s always screwy because of that ad that pops up in the middle -_-!
