Ringworld and HB indicate that their experience with this forum's performance is not very satisfying.

What is your experience? Is it better than ezboard? Is the performance decreasing? Is is worse in certain forums over others?

I would really appreciate your comments. There is not much else I can do with this server to increase the performance and I really don't know if it is a server issue anyway. The CPU on this server is rarely above 10% and it is a Dual Xeon 500 Mhz with each proc having 1Meg cache. The system memory is over a 1.5Gig and it is running Ultra3 SCSI with 10k RPM disks. This is a serious server class machine normally capable of supporting multiple high volume sites.

I do not see any change in latency between my site and other sites on the internet... so I'm not sure what is going on.

The database size is 4 meg. That doesn't seem too big but maybe it is and we need to move up to SQL. Maybe we need to move to a commercial host?

I don't know maybe I'm worried about nothing. I need your help and comments...

Thanks.

Ringworld Posted - Mar 03 2003 : 15:31:30
getting back to the topic... been trying different things and i noticed when i load your first screen the IE i have stalls.

I have to hit refresh to see the site... could it be something that may be causing that i.e. your java script from the pull down menus? I mean it loads fast enough from the hack. I just dont get it :(

LOL maybe i never will :(
PickledOMO Posted - Mar 03 2003 : 15:21:28

A 404 error in relation to your browser, is an indication the the page you are requesting can not be found.

That could mean a couple of things... it no longer exists or... you have mistyped the URL.
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Mar 01 2003 : 11:34:51
what exactly is 404 Aged?
Stubborn-OMO Posted - Mar 01 2003 : 11:28:42
This site is good, fast, easy to understand.
Helluva nice job. Nice.
Keep up the good work.
Everyone get Paypal and send the Admin money for his time and effort for this site. :-)
Petrified-OMO Posted - Feb 28 2003 : 21:35:27
Must have been your Sigpic.
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Feb 28 2003 : 21:14:10
and finally to get out of this post and get back to the forums takes about .29 secs and 28 respectully. For some reason it just seems to be this page.......go figure.
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Feb 28 2003 : 21:12:45
well, I loaded the first page and it took 1.59 on the display and about 2 seconds in real time. Getting better!
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Feb 28 2003 : 21:11:04
I'm not pissy, I lub everyone except that ass Pace............................................ ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... ............................................... .......................jk)

anyway, took my sig out and it only took 0.62 seconds. That seems to have been the problem. I'll keep playing around with it and see if its better in some of the other threads.

[edit]HB I edited your post to put a space in all your .... otherwise it causes all the posts to go really wide... Arcane[/edit]
Arcane Posted - Feb 28 2003 : 21:02:45
Maybe from your perspective but then you probably can't multitask.

See that is exactly what HTTP 1.1 enabled for the wonderful world wide web (w4?). Instead of having to download each page in a serial fashion... it allows each item to spawn its own session. The beauty of that method is that you can paint the stuff that downloads the quickest without having to wait for the entire thing... or Heartburn's Siggy which is broken Man, if this was HTTP 1.0 then you wouldn't even be able to see this page right now... because Heartburn's Siggy is broken... Yep, that's right it wouldn't load (well, not 100% true... if you changed your browser's default behavior then it would paint the page until it came to Heartburn's BROKEN SIGGY and then it would stop).

So while it may seem like having to pull data from another location would be slower overall, to the educated and informed mind it is obvious that it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. In fact HTTP 1.1 is way faster overall in performance due to the multiple session streams it enables. Sound pretty crazy, I know, but all the same it is very true.

Now then... it seems that everything has its darkside. The same is true about HTTP 1.1. It is a bear to troubleshoot due to all those streams running all over the place. In the old days you had just a couple of servers to look at. Heck, now just to load this page, you actually go to over 8 different servers and request data!!! The worst cluprit is that British Columbia Canook that we all love to hate... yep, FESTUS. Since he hosts a number of OMO siggy's we make calls to his webspace every single time we display a page with one of them on it... even worse... if you don't have caching enabled... you call it every single time (you like downloading my siggy @ over 15k a pop when it is listed 6 or 7 times on page???).

So...

(Since some have been so pissy lately... the condesending tone of the above post was done in pure JEST... except where Aged's is concerned... then it was done with all malice intended)
HEARTBURN-OMO Posted - Feb 28 2003 : 20:58:17
Sorry Arcane, know little to nothing about that stuff. Everyone knows I'm a true dummy when it comes to the little stuff. I did get rid of my siggy and I went in and turned on timestamp to see if that will help. Let you know.
Petrified-OMO Posted - Feb 28 2003 : 20:34:26
I know less about networking than I like. But it would seem to me that a request that is made to go off running somewhere else on the net would slow things down a small tad.
