Yes it does, I am not sure why, but every few hours the site slows down for around 5 minutes. Then it's fine. It's irritating, but certainly not as bad as it was when the servers were being upgraded.

I think it's a MySQL database problem, or similiar. When forums get big, it chews up a lot of resources. And it ain't like MySQL is efficient!


A few years ago I designed some software for a multinational company that processed data on a large SQL Server database (60 million records). Coding that works well with a few thousand records can be unusable when you start getting into the hundreds of thousands or millions of records. Whole new strategies are needed to handle the database interactions or everything can just grind to a halt. In a multi-user environment making heavy demands on a large database the code has to be very well designed. A single line of inefficient code or non-optimal database setting or configuration can kill the dynamics.

Come on guys, this site isn't *that* popular.



I'm frequently very slow, and I'm not all that popular either.

The only ways you can get popular is if you are a frequent poster in the General Autism Discussion, Random Topic and Games Section (which all the WP traffic seems to at) :lol: but also to communicate and reply to people's post and ask questions. :D

I didn't mean popular as in "popular on WP". I just meant in general, but mostly I was just being silly. :D

I might aswell count that as posting random facts of getting popular. :lol:
I think I've figured out why the forum was a little slow, I happened to put it in bold. :wink:
