I'm seeing <10s response for all of those actions you just described, but I agree that is too slow. I don't think it has to do with dialup vs. not, it appears to be mostly a server side issue. Be assured, there is optimizing to do. Please bear with us while we adjust to the load, etc. We'll get there.

I'm on probably the crappiest connection anyone has.. phone so noisy you have to yell and even the ol courier modem connects at max 26.4 Kbps and even so the forum loads fast enough to use.

if this keeps up we could do some further analysis to figure out why you guys are slower than others (if you are slower than I am something is clearly wrong!!!)

ya i bet if you looked at CPU usage the full text index via mysql would be grabbing gobs of cycles.

dono if steves server logs slow queries but if it persists after tomorrow at this time that could be something to look at... but like you say Mike, no reason to assume anything till the DB finishes all that work

just so its clear, the full text indexing only happens once while all the old messages are being processed. Once that is done, all new inserts will be added with little impact on the system. Just imagine 260.000 people inserting new messages at once .. it'll take a bit for things to settle down :)

Moved this thread since it's getting pretty technical... basically the way the re-index works is outside of the standard mysql index. It's a phpBB admin plugin that rebuilds the search by handing 100 posts at a time, once every three seconds, to phpBB's built in indexer. Normally posts are indexed as soon as they're posted, but we obviously have quite a backlog. So that would explain the varying performance people are seeing. If you request a page when the indexer is chugging through 100 posts, you're going to take that hit. In any case, I'm pretty sure it will clear up. We'll keep an eye on it though.

oh wow .. they have thier own index. I guess they would now that I think about it since its written to work with a number of different databases, it can't rely on any single database type to make indices etc.. better to create its own

intresting..

and reading your indexing comments we'll see how it is for me. Like I said before, I'm dialup at about 44k normally, with WFW311 and IE3.02, so I don't expect to be super fast, but at least reasonable as it's been in the past. One thing I've found using the threaded view is that the thread order is based on the most recent post within the thread, not on the main post itself, so that the thread order is skewed to whatever post happened to have the most recent reply. Again, just commenting here.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
