Forums Accelerated

[Tarun]

While researching for some mods to make to the site, I stumbled across a speed booster.

Persistant Database Connections

Let me know if the forums feel any faster or slower.

Seems speedier to me, i like the improvements. The new logos for admin and stuff look nice too.

I don't know whether it is all in my mind but they do seem quicker.

I felt the same way.

[Capman]

Yeah like when you drive a car after getting it fixed or something, you convince yourself that it is a lot better.

I am sure there is an increase in speed though as I have found it quite sluggish on here sometimes lately, today in work especially, (when i was trying to log out in a hurry).

[Ma TriX 0978]

eh maybe helped a little. not too much though. I bet it would have a big influence on it if there were 500 guests here.

no difference on my side. can you make the boost even speedier?

[krit86lr]

Yep! Definitely noticed a difference. :unsure:

[SenutyEnool]

Nope, no change at my end.

But then again, trying to get through the Defence Firewall slows EVERYTHING down.

I'll give it a shot from home.

Cheers :unsure:

Throttled. The link explains what the change did. I can actually tell the pages are loading faster.

Exactly. The pages aren't stalling anymore. Sweet! :unsure:

[TexasFilly]

Well glad Ya'lls stuff is faster, ya'll need to type really S L O W now that I'm on dial up! LMAO

Still doing GREAT Tarun! :P

[zaphirer]

I haven't noticed. Perhaps it's a placebo :unsure:

[Haze]

Not so sure..

Last time I was on I was on Broadband, now on dial-up, its much slower.. But its because I havent been able to compare.

This doesn't waste bandwidth of anything does it? Like when you do that thing on firefox browser which tripes the speed. It wastes bandwidth or something?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Very funny.

But no, not a placebo. I was scared to mention that the pages weren't stalling because I thought that the not stalling was a placebo before Tarun mentioned it. :D

[greenknight]

Seems like a definite improvement to me.

Wh..hwhaha.w.. wha? *confused*

I'm running on a wireless, SBC 385k DSL, FF with Firetunes. Can't say I've noticed a difference, but I've changed my connection method three times in the past couple of weeks (junky wireless adapter, phone line adapter, another junky wireless adapter) so I don't have a consistent control.

seems really fast to me.

[Tarun]

Re-optimized. :D

[zaphirer]

The emoticons don't appear for guests (or, at least, didn't before I logged in)

[Tarun]

Fixed. :D
