Hi everyone,
After lots of frustration during the last two days, we have finally completed the transfer of forum. This evening, the forum was finally transferred to a dedicated server which has excellent performance specifications and should provide a very stable platform for our ever-growing userbase and constantly increasing traffic.
We are doing some trial and error tests on background and the results are great. This machine runs like a road runner and even though there were over 350 users online a bit earlier, the Load Average was 0.31 0.29 0.24. For those of you that know server environments (Al etc..) these are fantastic figures, given the size of database (over 400MB) and the large number of tables in it. The average page load time is around 0.2 seconds.
Here is a screenshot from this thread's pageload tests.
Although we are quite confident of new website dedicated server environment, we ask you to submit your feedback. Please let us know if you experience quicker/same/slower pageloads, is there anything odd that wasn't present before etc...
Thanks for your patience and I very much look forward to your replies.
Val.
