  • Site v-e-r-y slow?

    The site appears to be achingly slow today. I've tested from my laptop (an ickle EEE-PC900 over wi-fi) and a forum index page load takes:

    FINISHED --21:11:25--
    Downloaded: 204,504 bytes in 21 files

    real 0m36.961s
    user 0m0.020s
    sys 0m0.016s
    punkey@valpolicella:~/temp$


    Hmm... that's not much of a throughput rate. I've tested the same from my big beefy server:

    Downloaded: 203,388 bytes in 21 files

    real 0m24.610s
    user 0m0.012s
    sys 0m0.016s
    punkey@whirlwind ~/temp $

    Slightly better, but still painfully slow.

    I then tested the same from a co-located box in Telehouse with ooooodles of connectivity & bandwidth:

    Downloaded: 248,556 bytes in 21 files

    real 0m24.297s
    user 0m0.004s
    sys 0m0.008s
    punkey@smoothie:~$


    To put this into context, that same box can fetch...

    punkey@smoothie:~$ time wget -p http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...-2.6.25.tar.gz

    ... at a rate of knots, peaking at 2Mbit/s.

    So, I don't think the issue is isolated to 'me', as in my connection (tested via a co-lo) or my boxes (different machines using wget to rule out browser issues).

    Is there a known problem? I don't wish to appear ungrateful - if I can help, then I will! [1]

                Not just me then.... I wonder if the demand for Firefox is flooding some US pipes (and therefore affecting this site)

                    Well, it works, most of the time. Firefox2 was the biggest memory hog out there and Firefox3 is better, but still buggy. Opera 9.5 is currently rocking my world in a big way and showing Firefox the way to go...

                          it was the wrong sort of leaves that worms had eaten that had then gone on to nibble away at the fibre optic cables

                          either that or the cloudy weather was blocking the satellite downlink occasionally

                            Unfortunately I was out last night and therefore came back to over 1000 emails from the system shouting that it needed help!

                            I'm in discussion with the hosts as the server we are now on seems to be getting worse and worse.

                            Bear with me.
