Obviously they are doing a master backup before they install IPB 2.1  :ninja:

Seriously, some Sundays are slower than others

The above implies a joke about 2.1 but then...

really?  what new thingys will tag along with that?

I'm still having the slowness.  It took me 2 minutes just to log in, plus another minute just to open this topic.

Most Sunday Backups don't usually take this long.  (Usually 12 hours before this.)

So, (and I am probably starting the rumor mill here), but why do you think it is taking so long.  Are they taking a full master backup before moving to IPB 2.1, or are they... I can't believe I am even saying this... moving to phpBB. :pinch:

The backup seems to have stopped, and the IPB number is still v2.0.4.  I guess that's it for the rumor mill.

EDIT: Oops, I spoke/typed too soon.  There is still some slowness.

It was a joke people, 2.1 isn't even out yet, you know?

I couldn't see Neowin for a few days, due to Safari being unable to open it. I finally broke down and downloaded Firefox, which seems to fix the issue. Meaning I can browse the web with Safari and have to use Firefox for Neowin. *grrrr

I know... I was just making a joke. I was going for some sarcasm. I thought that we would have started making really weird predictions for what is going on. e.g. Some space aliens have kidnapped one of the admins (oh no Neobond... ahhhh... what's that green light that's taking you into space?) and has gotten a 5-finger discount on IPB 2.1 and forced him to upgrade the forums, causing sitewide slowness. The end of the world is near... :alien:

I know, I'm weird. :wacko: :p

Whats going on? Everyday, I come to Neowin, get a good 20 - 40 minutes reading and posting, and the site just slows to a complete stop.

I can't load any pages, can't reply or anything?

Is it the server loads that just can't deal with the amount of people or what? Cause its annoying the hell out of me.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
