Ricky Smith Old Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 It's slower then it was before. Now if I didn't know about the server "upgrade" I would have said that nothing changed except the theme :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnotabigtruck Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Much slower. Page generation time is 0.7140s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomi Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 This page took 11.376s for me to load, so I'd say we're getting pretty good now. :) Although, it shouldn't be talking any longer than 5s. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsutton Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Where is the vote for "crawling slow" It's even worse than before! The old server were much quicker (yes it was still slow but compared with the new server) UK, connecting via ja.net (College) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mAcOdIn Veteran Posted December 6, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 6, 2005 6.7 secs for me. It's not as fast as when I first started to visit but it's faster than it used to be these last months for me, and I'm getting less errors than before the switch. That said as a free web ad supported web site, since I haven't got a subscription, I feel more than happy with what I get so 6.7 seconds isn't hurting me any.

cork1958 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I think it was slightly faster yesterday. Snails pace again today. As has been usual for a LONG time now. Don't know which is worse. When the site was down totally and I knew what the reason was, or the site supposedly all fixed up and can hardly get anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I'm not sure if it's going faster for me since i upgraded to 10MB speed last night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokkolm Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I'm not sure if it's going faster for me since i upgraded to 10MB speed last night.. Unless you were on 56k before there will be no difference. BTW, right now the site is FLYING but it's only 6:15am est. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgeek Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 It feels the same to be but that's because I'm on a dialup connection (got my order for broadband :D Awating the self-installation kit). But I am experiencing less error messages than before the upgrade. So that's an excellent change. Keep up the good work Neowin Staff. :) (Y) ozgeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaCypher Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 FWIW, the site does seem significantly faster this morning. The server load looks about normal (given the number of users browsing the forums), so it seems like something on the server has changed and things seem to be running much better now. Pages seem to load almost immediately after I click a link. Nice work guys. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James B Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Viewing the pages is definately much quicker this morning, but replying is still slow for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcrap Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I think it was slightly faster yesterday. Snails pace again today. As has been usual for a LONG time now. Don't know which is worse. When the site was down totally and I knew what the reason was, or the site supposedly all fixed up and can hardly get anywhere! The site is not nearly as fast as its going to be. There's still alot of work that needs to be done with the code and the frontend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 The site is not nearly as fast as its going to be. There's still alot of work that needs to be done with the code and the frontend. Yeah we know that but i don't really go on front end i'm here for forums and seems that forums are fast. So i'm happy so are others :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pHaez Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Well, I am glad to see that the site is moving along quicker, especially after all the work that was put into it. But expect things to only get quicker. The speed increase was due to some Apache work done yesterday. Today will be PHP/MySQL work, to hopefully speed things up on that end. From that point, it will be down to fixing the coding bugs, and finishing the frontend. Both things I do not believe I am involved in, so I can't really speak for how long that should take, or what it will entail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I think it is marginally quicker, but not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted December 6, 2005 Author Administrators Share Posted December 6, 2005 I disagree with everyone who says its slow, its already alot faster for me than the old servers ever were and I'm all the way in Europe. oddcrap, thanks for the advice man but let pHaez and us deal with this our own way, dont give members the idea you know whats going on when you aren't involved whats being changed to optimize these servers.

KitCh Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I'm currently downloading which is using more or less, all my bandwidth and the site is flying for me and i'm in the UK. Great work on optimizing the servers guys, But I think i'll wait and see how it copes at peek times before I get over excited :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+general chaos Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 slower with threads if they even load at all. the rest of the time it either times out or I get that wonderful "the server is too busy" message.
