I know this came up a few weeks ago, but was it ever resolved? The page load times seem to be getting slower and slower.
I can't imagine that you need a super high horsepower server or connection to run this site... Just playing armchair system admininstrator from the sidelines it seems some database tuning may be needed. I'd be happy to contribute to a fund for a faster server or some DB consultants time or... ? -Steve |

I has nothing to do with your computer. It has everything to do with the fact that the box the board is running on is likely getting overtaxed at peak times.
Andy, I disagree it's a network problem. If I pull up several sites at once (nice thing, tabbed browsers), all of them come up 2-3x quicker than 914world.com. Doesn't matter what the sites are (well, within reason). I have no routing problems to the colo that I've noticed, either from home over my lousy ISDN connection through SBC or at work through a T1 hooked straight to Alternet. The very fact that site performance changes based on the time of day (it's slower early in the day and later afternoons, when most people appear to be "on"), and the fact that Mark indicated the box itself was swapping, tells me there's a simple lack of memory on the box. If this were a mostly static site, I'd agree that the current box should be plenty for the level of traffic it sees. But since it's entirely dynamic, it's very likely showing some stress at peak times. 256MB is really not a lot of memory for something trying to service 50-100 simultaneous users on a fully dynamic site, particularly when you're running the DB server on the same box. If you're at all interested, I can send you some basic tests that can be done at peak times (remotely!) to see if I'm right. I'm not complaining at all, btw. I find the site performance to be acceptable. I've been the ONLY sysadmin at much bigger sites before while doing other jobs, so I know how hard it is to get around to doing anything that requires me to physically visit the box and do something to it. |
