Site is slow again

The above took 43 seconds (!)

VirtualDr, HardwareCentral and WinDrivers were stuck _at the same time_ for well over a minute.

All three finally came up _at the same time_. This isn't the first time I've seen this either.

Leads one to believe they all reside on the same "server"? (An Intel Atom nettop with 1GB of RAM in someone's basement connected via residential DSL?)

I was on the phone with one of the Editors this morning. We both experienced the one minute delay at a Sister site... REPORTED.

A few minutes ago it was very, very slow. Now it is just the usual 7-10 seconds to go from one page to another.

[Steve R Jones]

The folks upstairs are monitoring the situation. It has been suggested that they add another server "again" to the database side of things.

Not trying to be mean but it is really bad for a technology/computer site to have such a nagging problem.

[Broni]

I must say things are getting worse AGAIN.
Navigating, searching and posting takes a long time.

[falcon2000]

So, Steve, have the management found out what the problem is? I ask b/c it's still happening every so often, like right now.

[Steve R Jones]

If they knew what the problem was - we wouldn't have it

Luckily, one of the brass hats was attempting to work on a long thread at a sister sites and had all sorts of issues... He's using buzz words like "first hand user experience is worse than poor" in his communications.

Yup, been having lots of problems lately. Super slow, can't connect, "Data Base" errors. This site is consistently inconsistent.

[Welshjim]

Yup!

[Steve R Jones]

The site has been screaming fast this morning. Post away while you can

[falcon2000]

Yes, it is ... just hope that it is going to stay this way.
