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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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.
