...has been slow to load for me in the past few days.Just hangs,stop and refresh does nothing.

I usually use bookmark of the login page so it may be that

try going to IDNet home page and using the link from there straight to forum home page and its quick,try the bookmark straight after and that also is quick.

does the same with Pals if that means any thing

Martin's been working on the server, Baz.

Baz · Feb 09, 2011, 17:28:43

Bill · Feb 09, 2011, 17:52:58

Same here, but everything went like cold molasses for a couple of minutes.

Baz · Feb 09, 2011, 17:53:54

thats ok then.Thought Martin was singling me out for mentioning it

pctech · Feb 09, 2011, 17:54:44

Speed seems to be varying for me too.

Rik · Feb 09, 2011, 17:59:14

It seems to be when a process gets started that hogs the CPU for a while. Database access requests pile up and can even produce the error "Can't connect to database".

pctech · Feb 09, 2011, 18:01:05

Oh yes, had that a little myself when I tinkered with SMF.

Rik · Feb 09, 2011, 18:03:32

Never tinker, Mitch, go for it in a full-blooded way.

That's some process that slows down my connection to the tbb servers as well...

Rik · Feb 09, 2011, 18:13:00

We think big here, Bill.

Just what I am experiencing. CPU appears to be gummed up on the odd occasion.

Rik · Feb 09, 2011, 18:21:04

Give it a quick spray.

Bill · Feb 09, 2011, 18:24:59

It seems to have happened at the same time as a big spike of packet loss visible on both Griff's and my BQM graphs in the topic in FTTC... I wish I could convince myself that there isn't a problem in IDNet somewhere.

pctech · Feb 09, 2011, 18:25:32

It's likely your browser process is being tied up while waiting for a full response from IDNet's server.

Does the same thing happen if you go to the IDNet website, Bill?

Bill · Feb 09, 2011, 18:32:27

Can't say, it's all OK again now.

What's causing my doubts is that Griff and I have both brought this up a couple of times on tbb and nobody with another ISP has reported seeing the same thing.

I'll concede that it's not proof, but it's suggestive...

pctech · Feb 09, 2011, 18:37:10

Bill did you have both TBB and netters open at the same time?

Bill · Feb 09, 2011, 18:46:36

Yes, and several other tabs, but I only had time to check the tbb and IDNet ones.

I did leave a possible source out of the thinking- tbb. Some comments over there on Griff's WinMTR figures are causing me to think...

Rik · Feb 09, 2011, 18:47:58

I thought that was my stomach rumbling, Bill.

Bill · Feb 09, 2011, 18:51:15

It's more a grinding of gears noise at this end

Rik · Feb 09, 2011, 18:57:21

Bill · Feb 09, 2011, 19:02:49

Just seen Griff's figures in FTTC... doesn't look like tbb are involved.
