I just rebooted the firewall, that's the only thing that has changed since the upgrade (the servers didn't change, just the connection). I have an email into the ISP provider asking for more information.

And that one took 2 secs.

Okay, let's see if those reboots make a difference...

Okay, I had a phone conversation with the ISP guy, and he brought up some good points for us to try out.

-Wayne

some throttling going on somewhere.

Assuming you're in your office Wayne testing the server in the same bdlg, you might be hitting only 3 servers in the entire path - like a 5 miles round trip maybe.

I did a speed test from my home (Horsham, PA - verizon fios) to Phila (comcast test server - 50 mi rnd trip) and show 25.47M/23.9M down/up speed.

That last one was fast

Nope, I do all my testing of this stuff from my home cable modem (Cox) connection...

At the suggestion of my ISP guy, I just removed our firewall bandwidth restriction. It may be that our automated backup program is butting up against the connection and then causing real packets (from you guys) to become dropped. Not seen on our old connection, since we were limited by physical capacities of the lines.

fast........at the moment. edit....no, this post never showed up after a minute, then i clicked refresh and it showed then.

Am I posting too many pictures?:confused:

no! ;)

It's been fast with no bogging down or hang ups since I logged on this evening.

I made some changes. I think I may have found a problem that is unique to the new setup.

-Wayne

It's behaving itself now, Wayne. Thanks for your efforts as always. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/clap.gif

Still slow :mad:

Seems pretty quick for me today...

I've been watching it quite q bit over the past few days. It's rocket fast right now. I think that issue with the backup was causing trouble.

Wayne

testing

10 seconds,

I'm in Belgium, fyi

I think I've fixed the problems associated with the move to the new location. There is still the occasional slowdown due to a complicated search or something like that, but those are relatively rare.

-Wayne

It is very off and one for me. I am currently on the light-speed Cal Poly connection with major bandwidth. The forum is either "rocket fast" or it takes a count of 30 to load. It will just sort of freeze while loading a thread or posting a reply but once it gets past that, it is good. Not sure why the difference.:confused:

Thanks for managing all this, Wayne. :)

Posting replies involve writes to the database, which are always going to be much slower than reads. If there are other posts to be written ahead of you, then it will wait. The forums works by putting the post on the screen, and then writing it to the database in the background - it should avoid these issues (actually it only does that with the quick reply). I can track and manage the slow queries - the other stuff is more difficult.

-Wayne

Back to slow, really slow and then moments of great speed.
That is just for pulling up threads, not posting replies.

That last post was fast!

Quite NORMALLY FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Doyle

Doing better, I presume? No more complaints since we changed the backup uploads?

-Wayne

Runs much, much better for me. Just once in a while I get a slow load time, but most likely just on my end. But much better here. Thanks for getting it sorted out.

Yes, doing much better. Still, every once in a while there is a slow load or a slow page change but not nearly as often as before.

Hi Wayne,
I've seen an overall improvement too with just the occasional 10-15 second wait for a page load.
Much better so I'm just echoing what the 2 people before me said.

and,
thanks again for the great site!

I’m in the same category:
Noticeable improvement but regular (1-in-20) 45-second delay.
I can see my system querying for a reply and when the reply finally comes in.

Early-S is its normal response.
Amazon is pico-seconds for One-Click.

+1 exact same situation here on TWC in Austin TX.

Wayne,

Yesterday (4/21/10), after several slow responses on the Forum, I got this message:

"FastCGI Error
The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.

Error Details:
The FastCGI pool queue is full
Error Number: 4 (0x80070004).
Error Description: The system cannot open the file.
HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)"

I hope this helps.

Best,
Grady

I got that yesterday afternoon too. For about 15 minutes it seemed the server was down completely.

Then it started working intermittantly again.
