+R&JStockman Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Is it just me, or is it slow for everyone? I have to wait sometimes 45 seconds for the pages to load. That is everything from moving the google map around, to forums loading. I am on a broadband connection, and have no problems with other sites just this one. Thanks for the insight.
+MountainRacer Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 It snags sometimes, yes. They update it frequently, though, so that's probably why. Usually the slowdowns are spotty and brief.
+R&JStockman Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 well sometimes its worse than others, but i would say 2 out of 10 page loads result in a abnormal wait time
+benh57 Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 well sometimes its worse than others, but i would say 2 out of 10 page loads result in a abnormal wait time What OS / browser do you use? I see this often on firefox on OS X, but not as much on Safari. -Ben
+R&JStockman Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) I use Firefox and xp Edited August 31, 2009 by R&JStockman
+ZeroHecksGiven Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 firefox with a mac and it's been soooooooo slow the past two days
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I may well be wrong........ but doesn't it correlate to the servers being at near capacity with hits and online usage? I notice fairly regularly, but overall not a big problem. Hey, it's worldwide access 24/7!
+5 Caching Campers Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Personal opinion and near flaimbait, but IMHO this is caused by the fact that they insist on running everything inside the Microsoft .Net framework. In my experience, things always run much slower inside this framework than outside. I had a database app that somebody else had written in .net w/Microsoft's SQL server as the backend. I rewrote it in PHP/MySQL and it ran considerably faster on older hardware (my Linux box was much older, had less RAM and Processor speed but still handled things faster). There's just way too much overhead in the .net framework. It gives you a pretty GUI to program inside of, but it's at quite the usability cost.

Yes, your experience matches mine. I have been noticing this site behavior for about the past two months it seems. See my log for the outage at 0641pdt this morning.
+benh57 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I may well be wrong........ but doesn't it correlate to the servers being at near capacity with hits and online usage? no. It's pretty much always has these 'lags'. Almost always firefox/mac though.
+the_bell_dingers Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I use firefox and yes lately it has been slow, especialy the forms with pages sometimes taking a few long seconds.
