Baj Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 As of 16:30 today, we've made some changes to the servers configuration. It has been impossible over the last year to have a sustained period of time where the server has been busy in otder to try out different configuration settings. As today has been one of those rare occasions, I've spent the majority of the afternoon working on the nitty gritty of configuration files and different software for the server, as such you should hopefully find it a much smoother and quicker experience. I notice that even tho there are currently 700 people online, its now acting as if there were only about 200. We're still 'testing' and as such the server may go up and down a couple of more times, but I would really appreciate peoples comments on the servers performance AFTER 16:30 today, please ignore before then as this was when I was working on configurations etc. Thanks Baj and Steve
alpine_saint Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Noticed the difference immediately. Havent been on for a week, but the speed was f**king awful at lunchtime
Baj Posted 30 June, 2009 Author Posted 30 June, 2009 Its still not perfect, I'm certainly still getting the odd occasion where it slow, but its certainly a big difference.
RonManager Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Hell of a difference in the last 10 mins -well done.
philly Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Improvement, sits waiting to connect for a while, but when it does the pages load lightning quick.
Baj Posted 30 June, 2009 Author Posted 30 June, 2009 Yes, loading of pages should be GREATLY increase, I mean, once it starts to load the page you should find it completes very quickly. Im finding it very slow to post still tho, anyone else?
OldNick Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 still a littel slow but at this time I notice the site is not as active anyway as a lot of the posters soon will be on their own free time and so disappear lol
Colinjb Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Yes, loading of pages should be GREATLY increase, I mean, once it starts to load the page you should find it completes very quickly. Im finding it very slow to post still tho, anyone else? Yes, a little. Took about 15 seconds or so to post the last message I put in this thread. Although, having just posted this one it was almost instantaneous.
saintstr1 Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Couldn't get it most of the afternoon, better now , Thanks
Baj Posted 30 June, 2009 Author Posted 30 June, 2009 still a littel slow but at this time I notice the site is not as active anyway as a lot of the posters soon will be on their own free time and so disappear lol On the contrary, we currently have more users online than we have ever had, aside from lunchtime today.

lamanga Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 It's a tad slow to post but the pages load faster than a post curry poo!
Scummer Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Yeah seems to have slowed again. But like you say, once it clicks into gear the page loads very quickly.
Baj Posted 30 June, 2009 Author Posted 30 June, 2009 will be keeping an eye on it, these settings appear to be optimal tho
