Is anybody else seeing some odd realtime / response time / performance things off & on here on the W recently? Like the last couple of weeks?

    This old hunk of junk rendered your page in 13.219 seconds.
I'm on dial-up, but generally have a pretty good & consistent ISP, & have not been seeing similar things elsewhere. I'm used to seeing the W being quite crisp & consistent in response time when bringing up new pages. Off & on lately though, I've been occasionally getting some unusually slow responses. I don't have any useful pattern of time of day or anything, but thought I'd ask if there's something we're aware of?

It was dragging a bit for me from home last night (where I have Comcast) but I chalked it up to coming on right after the end of RAW.

I'm on DSL and I've had some similar load times and not just at "peak" times. I've had a couple of instances lately where I've had to surf elsewhere because I couldn't get pages to load.

Likewise. It seems fine now, though.

This should be addressed.

We've made two changes to fix this, and at least one of them made a difference.

It wasn't my change that worked

All weekend I was getting pages loading after 75+ seconds, if at all. I'm on a cable modem, btw.

This is probably too much to ask for, but specific times and link you were loading would really be helpful. (Next time of course)

Main page, just now (12:38 MST): waited to a no-response at all; reload got an immediate "connection refused" popup; reload again brought the page up perfectly adequately (1.337 sec), & now continues to do fine.

1:30 pm EST login confirmation took 45.577 seconds. Entering the TV forum through the new posts only loaded in 50 seconds and moving through there I had similar load times. The politics folder loaded in 74.433 seconds at about 1:45 and the mark forum read page never loaded. I tried to return to the main page and it also never loaded.

I'm trying to remember whether it's most often around the "logging on" (or "refreshing" the logon after the login times out). It certainly was for at least some of my observations, including the one earlier this afternoon. Coming back in just now to post this, I waited about 7 seconds for the main page, but once in, am seeing normal results. Would that make any sense?

I still don't know what page you were loading...

I have a new theory. If you haven't marked any forums read in, like, a year...next time you're at the index page try clicking on "Mark all forums read" and see if that helps you out later.

(OR you could edit your profile and turn off "quick links" display - or both)

It was on the front page. I got a load time of approx. twenty seconds on one of the forum indices shortly thereafter, but didn't want to keep coming back here and editing this post. And in that, perhaps I have shirked my duties.

I've turned the quick links off anyway, however. Previously, was the server running through every thread and checking if I'd marked it read before rendering the page?

I mark all the forums read all the time and still get funky load times occassionally, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.

EDIT: However, RIGHT AFTER I posted that the "Click here if not redirect page blahblahblah" loaded quickly, but the automatic loading of the NEXT page (the one with the thread and my post added) stalled out.

It would if there were lots of OTHER people on at the same time who hadn't, because you're all hitting the database simultaneously. (Like, when PalpatineW and BigDaddyLoco were on at the same time).

Yeah yeah I see it.

I've turned off quick links for everybody, as I'm more and more certain that it's strategic combinations of old-time, non-forum-marking-read people hitting the index page that's causing our mysql to end up stacking up.

If you are accustomed to using quick links and want them back (quick links are the "<", ">" and new post/thread links on the index page), no problem - please edit your profile and you'll find the button to turn quick link display back on.

And this saves me from asking my question of where they went. Thanks!
