Forums Slowdown

[Konrad]

Has anyone else noticed that the load times for any pages on the forums, or the delay in adding a post you just typed up has increased dramatically, i'm sometimes waiting up to 2 minutes to load a page , and it doesn't happen with other forums or any other sites on the net, also i have a upspec ADSL connection (sorry dont know the details, from memory its a 1.5K whatever that means

Has there been a slowdown somewhere?? Is it going to be fixed? or is it just me??

Yes I have noticed over the past 2-3 days that things have become a little slower. Could just be the extra load from all those teenagers still on school holidays.

mysql and its table locking no doubt

mines better now, not as quick as it is normally but its still at a decent speed. but i noticed it with 3 other forums aswell.

Yeah don't be alarmed people its not your connections, its the forums/server that is the problem.

[AMS]

Yes. Boost, NS.com and SAU share the same server?

[PranK]

they are on the same network, not on only 1 server tho, SAU is spread across 3 (or more) servers atm to help load times.

Loading posts from a table that holds 1.5m posts can put the mysql db under a touch of strain

Load times should all be ok now anyway, right?
