Forums are Painfully slow

[Dracorat]

They're "stick a knife in me gullet and pour salt in the wound" painfully slow.

Pages can take upward of a minute to appear. And that's the "normal" state of operations.

I know you guys have to be seeing it, but wow, I can't just sit idly by and say nothing.

In an effort to try to be productive, can I inquire what the feasability would be of using static views for your database that get updated on a chron job that runs every 15 seconds?

It would make the forums only update the thread order and new post indicators etc every 15 seconds, but if that sped things up, I'd be for it.

It's gotten so bad, that I refresh and then go off to do something and come back later. I spent all night last night trying to read the posts that interested me on the second monitor of my computer while I played a video game on the first.

It's painful. =(

Ditto, FWIW.

I wasn't sure if it's work's firewall or ENW itself, so I was going to keep my trap shut.

The forums are slow for me as well. More so than usual over the last week or so.

I started experiencing slowdowns this morning.

Intermittent site outages too.

When was the last time the mail spool was checked? What about the apache logs? What's the drive space available?

Is Adlon watching this stuff? If not who because I don't anymore. It has to be checked - if you let it run out of memory it will NOT be fun for anyone.

The performance has been pretty bad.

Is Adlon a person or a service? Whomever/whatever they are, they need to log in and check for leaks. Ideally, they'd have some sort of system monitor in place that can pro-actively notify them when thresholds are approached.

I've been experiencing heavy slowdown for the past couple of days (~Thursday).

I haven't received an email notification to a thread I've subscribed to, so the mail path is clogged somewhere along the way.

Maybe the various system services are fighting for the last remaining 10 megs of hard drive.

I've been gettting email notifications hours late (if at all) for the last few days.

........this is the first time I've been able to log in or view a thread since early afternoon, and it's been taking 5-15 minutes to load any page all day today and yesterday, in addition to being slower than usual the rest of the week. I don't have any problem with other websites or internet use, so it's definitely EN World. What's up?
