Liger Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 horrible. They should rename this to Neowin (non-swift) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrinders87 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 It is pretty slow, just like before. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejn Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 It was pretty speedy the first couple days, but yesterday and today it's been slow as hell. Takes a few minutes for a page to load, making Neowin basically unusable. For troubleshooting purposes, I'm running Win XP Pro with FF 1.5 over an 8 megabit cable connection.

Hum Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 :huh: Mixed results -- I get 'Server too busy' messages after making a post; fortunately I know that means my post did register, and I avoid double-posts. I can not connect at all thru my normal ISP. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipHopaholic Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Its getting much slower. It took a few tries to get to neowin.net/forum. And it takes about 40 sec to load a thread. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 it's pretty bad right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted December 5, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 5, 2005 At work about 30 seconds to load a page plus random "connection time out" messages from the HTTP server At home (completely different network of course) up to 1 minute to load a page this is HORRIBLE! speed. Congen networks really do suck, I don't understand why we would move this site onto their horrible networks... they rout like a mad man also..

phend-one Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Slow. -Images never finish loading. -Takes a while to get response from server Better. -No timeouts -No database/board errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 It has been slightly faster ever since it has been on the new servers. It is much more reliable, though, there are far less flood controls things and server busy messages. There is absolutely no way it is slower!

pHaez Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Well, it appears as though the speed issue lays within either PHP or MySQL. I have been looking at apache and bind (dns) for the last 10 hours, and see no reason for them to be the cause for the issues. As if I just go to html pages (No PHP or MySQL) they load instantly. So I am going to focus my attention on the PHP or MySQL configurations and see what I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blik Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) It's a lot slower, to add this reply it took 52.1668 seconds to render the page. Earlier it took 84 seconds yet the server load was around 0.7 something. I dont understand how the server load can be so low, yet it takes ages to render a page, or am i missing something? Edit: Great, got a server too busy error on clicking "Add Reply".... hit refresh to get a page render time of 75.4000 seconds, and a server load of 11.30... However, the new quick way for editting posts is excellent imo. Edited December 5, 2005 by Bliksem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4t4b0mb Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 database errors. images loading slow (if at all). refreshing the page is like watching paint dry. 4 server busy errors in the past 45 minutes. takes several minutes to post on the forums I could cook dinner in the time it takes between hitting the 'edit' button and a dialog actually opening up. Dunno what was changed other that some fluff in the forums, but it seriously seems like the site is genuinely broken since it's come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatical Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Slightly faster, a lot less page cant be displayed errors. But page loading is still quite slow, definate improvement :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevastopol Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 it is awfully and very painfully slow. even if the mai page loads quickly(very rarely) then forums take 30-40 secs to load... definitely unusable this reply page took 45 secs to load btw... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Jacob. Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hmmm...There has to be a big problem with the new servers or the coding is just totaly messed up. I would be glad to do some volunteer work for Neowin and code but dont know how :unsure: So if any staff sees this please tell me if I can help because by the looks of it Neowin needs help! :) (for staff members: If your interested in me helping you can contact me at :hypatech 2.0@gmail.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 For me its been faster but I have got the odd time outs and load messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Its moving fast now! indeed. definate improvement over about 10 minutes ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcrap Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) Appears to be going a little bit faster. My guess is the thread_cache_size , and query_cache_size. /etc directory there's a file called my.cnf I'm working with phaez, any improvement guys? SAFE_MYSQLD_OPTIONS="--defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf" changed to: SAFE_MYSQLD_OPTIONS="--defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --log-slow-queries=/var/log/slow-queries.log Edited December 5, 2005 by oddcrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4rkn1ght Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 The front page is loading a little faster than last night, but not as fast as it was before the upgrade. The forums are painfully slow. The highlight in the forums it?s making things even worst. It?s really increasing the CPU usage in my compute:( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcrap Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Give it about 10-15 min and see if there's a speed increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
