things slowing way down again this morning


Recommended Posts

The site is quite slow for quite a while now, days... Slow to load the forum, slow to post a comment, slow at everything. It used to be snappy, now it's a pain.

I have time to open new tab and surf somewhere else before Neowin gets to where I want....

EDIT : Saving this message took 21 sec...

Happened this morning as well (DB errors)

Seems to me like you guys have a issue with your DBs....

Also where can we see updates off the site? You could leave Neowin's Twitter and Facebook feed so we can follow updates on the site's condition somewhere else, Neobond :)

Forums are getting hit due to a thread on Reddit about Hells Kitchen winners and where they are now.

Redmak will be applying some changes today that affect sql, and hopefully the root cause of the slowdowns, so if the site breaks, you know why :p

The site has slowed right down. 3/5 times after I post, I see that the post went through via the mini spy, the page doesn't even refresh. Sometimes it takes 10-20 seconds to load a page. I checked my internet and the speed is reporting normal.. so it's definitely site related.

same here, however i'm new and just assumed this site was hosted in a 3rd world country or something and always like this.

You assumed that a "tech" forum with 90% US citizens would be hosted in a "3rd world" country, why?

let me help you out here. Feel free to take your pick

joke (johk) noun, verb, joked, jok?ing.

3. A matter that need not be taken very seriously; trifling matter: The loss was no joke.

sar?casm? ?[sahr-kaz-uhm] noun

2. A sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cultting remark: a review full of sarcasms.

Not wanting to be smart about it or anything, but seriously, it was a pretty simple post. I guess you don't get the satire of someone mentioning 3rd world country to be associated to something that might be "behind the times", "slow" or whatever

Been like this for at least the last two months, it's not rare for me to make a post and then go to another tab while waiting for the site to reload

I get periods where it's like that, but this is the worst I've seen in a while.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
