beyond.ca performance

[rage2]

Anyone notice any performance changes lately?

We switched some hardware around on Monday. Just wanted to see if anyone noticed anything. Please vote and leave some comments!

[EK 2.0]

I thought it might have just been me or my machine...but I had noticed that as of late it was longer to respond.

ie you hit the post reply button and it would take a second or two to load the next page...But after this upgrades made earlier this week beyond is definetly quicker and smoother...

Great job server dudes...:thumbsup:

[rage2]

Interesting to see that some people find it slower. Its a LOT faster for me since I'm here local to the server, wasn't sure about how big of a performance over the internet.

The only change we made really was this...

Quad-core CPU's FTW! Thanks to hampstor for hooking me up! Now get me 4 more! :rofl:

[rage2]

Oh ya, if you voted slower, please give me some details and I'll see what's up! Thanks.

[ZorroAMG]

quicker.

[USED1]

I don't know if it's just my computer but it seems lately that the homepage is slower to load.

Are you on shaw?

[ryder_23]

Pretty sure its just my shaw, but I have been noticing some long loads, smileys on the bottom, etc.. I'm betting its either my computer or my connection.

[djayz]

seems faster to me...but the rest of my internet is slower now

[kaput]

[DepTrotter]

i havent noticed a difference

[E36M3]

It seemed a little sluggish in the last few weeks, but seems very responsive now.

No, at work. Although it seems to be faster at times. It could just be our network.

[Kirbs17]

I think its just me, but twice within the last week, when I type in www.beyond.ca, it says the website doesnt exist. I type in forums.beyond.ca and it does that some times as well. I usually close IE, open IE again, and its fine. :dunno:

[abyss]

your poll is biased in that only one option can be geared towards females. :rolleyes:








But it's much faster than it takes me to finish jerking off to Lindsay Lohan, yay for upgrades! :rofl:

[benyl]

There are women on Beyond?

I thought it was just one big sausage fest!

Wayyyy faster.

[Ben]

Damn that Lindsay Lohan!

[mo_money2supe]

The past week or two was ridiculous slow for me. It would sometimes take up to a minute between clicking the 'Submit Reply' button before it actually submitted. Now, it seems about the same as before, not really faster or slower, though I did click on the slower vote 'cause of my bad experiences in the last week or two.

[7thgenvic]

ask leo.......he'll give you a appropriate answer

[toyboy88]

haven't really noticed faster/slower recently.

But lately its been alot slower

Not only this, but I seem to get alot of half or 3/4 loaded pages, the bottom part of the page doesnt seem to want to load very often. (Although so far today there are no problems)

[Zephyr]

Speed seems about the same

[silver_gs-R]

its a bit quicker but i thought it was just my computer...

guess not lol. :thumbsup:

[soupey]

[GQBalla]

same.

[mikey_mo_love]

no difference

[A2VR6]

havent really noticed a difference on this computer, however at my friends place where he has a older computer and telus internet i do notice it being a bit faster.

[JAYMEZ]

Seems quicker in Australia?

[euro_racer]

yes, it is surely quicker

[CasperWho]

The server has been crashing more often ...
I beleive it was down today for 1-2 Hour?

[adam c]

i havent noticed a difference.. but it seems to be crashing once a day now?

[Crymson]

I get intermittant to bad connectivity to beyond. Especially during the lunch hour. I think it's time to dissable the who is online for the php boards, i'm not sure the number they suggest to turn it off, probalby over a few hundred users online.

[Gondi Stylez]

[The Cosworth]

mine has been retardedly slow.

[andyg16]

Im havin trouble gettin onto beyond, i have to go through yahoo or google and click the link to get on anyone else havin this same problem?

[CivicDXR]

[ercchry]

its been down alot the past few days and i seemed to have missed a pm from someone but it was in the inbox when i checked today and it was from a few days ago (5 days) and i dont remember checking it but it was as if i had already (home page didnt say i had a new message)

:werd:

beyond was completely offline when i got home 2..around 4:30ish, and now its responding very slowly when i post or click any links on the site.

[rage2]

We lost 1 server last night in our web cluster. Should have it fixed by noon today.

[sputnik]

Just for clarification...

Are we talking about the pre-Anorexic Lohan or not?

[The Cosworth]

that could be why it was so slow, it was faster before yesterday at noon or so.

that could be it

:werd:

But its seems faster now, my pages are loading a lot quicker:thumbsup:

[rage2]

The web clusters have been repaired, so you should notice much better speed now.

[CivicDXR]

:clap: Now thats more like it!

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Much faster than last night! :thumbsup:

[saiyajin]

i notice when i play youtube or google videos in threads that it freezes... dunno if thats a problem on my side.. :dunno:

[mutsuraboshi]

i had troubles going to the site when i used the address http://www.beyond.ca but http://forums/beyond.ca

it might of been the computer i was using tho...

[Tik-Tok]

Lately, while the pages haven't been slow to load for me, once started, getting the page to load is a pain.

I'll click on a thread, and it can take up to a minute to actually go to that thread, but once there, the page loads normal.

We changed some stuff around on our load balancing DNS this morning, so it might take an hour or 2 for the world to see the new IPs. It should be fine by now though.

I have the same issue....still the same since about 8 this am....

[adam c]

^^

i get that problem off and on.. usually its by doing beyond.ca but if i put forums.beyond.ca it works

[benyl]

Perfomance is really shit now. Random CGI errors, servlet exceptions... etc...

That CGI error in the middle of the day is my fault :). Is it happening a lot?

fat figer? haha.

I haven't noticed anything since I posted.

[rage2]

haha no, I'm trying to test the performance of the CGI EXE vs the ISAPI DLL. So the cluster of servers are running different configurations right now.

I had to upgrade all our servers to 2k3R2 to comply with our microsoft licensing crap and just trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. I've already had 1 server under R2 for about a month now to see if it's stable before I upgraded all of 'em.

[infected]

So far so good. No problems.

[DJ Lazy]

Slower... and ALOT of hang ups for me... I will be browsing around, ie, jump into a few threads no problem (however slower) and then next thread I try to enter, Beyond just stops responding for me.. Same problem when making posts... I have had this problem for the past couple days.. can't recall when it started, but monday sounds about right..

My Stats:

ISP: Shaw
Computer: Apple MacBook
Exlporer: Mozilla
