<div class="IPBDescription">Cause identified</div> Just so you are aware. the cause of the poor site performance has been identified, but no fix has been implimented yet.

    I thought it was a little slow since even the computers at school were taking awhile to open new pages.

    I've made some great performance changes, and now we're trucking along with over 200 users online (~30% CPU usage).

    I would definitely like to speed it up more though. Anyone got any ideas?

    puzl, your welcome for hammering the site, were just doing our part <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    flayra, I have an idea that could help speed up the site: ask the community if there is any problems that the brain trust can't track down, one of the 30,000 people should be able to help <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Does anybody else here think that they will ever see this again in their life?

    Anyway, maybe when a few more people start finding the site active, the site will come under more stress and another bug may be unearthed. I would give it some time before stressing too much about the site again, because you guys probably haven't had sleep in weeks.

    Allow for pipelining, the use of multiple queries per user- make it like, 10 max. That allows for more info flow at once at the cost of slightly higher CPU usage per person ( so at 200 ppl, you'd be at say, 50% total )

    Since I assume youre not willing to post the code publicly it can be hard to help you to optimize it.. I also think that youre the best programmer on this forum..

    You could ask DOOManic for some help thought since hes great at php.

    Nice work! I guess those rocket boosters helped.

    The overall site is definately faster, but searching for something is very slow.. so slow that the search always times out.

    You know... It's wierd seeing Flayra as a regular poster now. I remember when he used to make one post every month or so, and <b>everyone</b> would freak, and analyze his post and look for hidden meanings, like whether NS:S or NS2 would be announced.

    I would love to help, but has the problem or bottleneck been identified? Is it just forums? Is it php? Database latency? Bottleneck in socket accept? Child process spawning?

    slightly annoying though, imagine entering the site and seeing the monitor taking off the tabel where its standing rising higer and higher untill the cabel snaps and therefor making the image of the boosters go awey

    I'm still having a lot of trouble with the site, and its not just my connection. I have the same problem on my schools computers, which use a different browser as well.

    It usually works, but 1 time out of 5, I have to reload the page, usually multiple times, because nothing shows up. No 404, no MYsql errors, just blank white and "Done"

    I had to do it in order to get to this add reply page...
