My hat's off to Jude and Neil for keeping things running as quickly and smoothly at Head-Fi as they do, all things considered.

Just shows that we Europeans have discovered this site as well. I guess.

Thanks for your suggestions. mod_gzip has already been deployed a long while back. MSIE page status does not show the compressed size, but Mozilla does. But if you have access to a Web client that supports HEAD requests, you'll see that any text/PHP content on the www6 is gzip encoded. Zend Optimizer is also installed.

The system runs fine for hours on end, but particular queries to the database, and certain threshholds are reached that make processes stick, which stack on top of one another. I hear that there's going to be some new hardware deployed to address certain issues.

I'm not so sure about gzip here. As you said, it's not working as it should -

http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php?ur...i.org%2Fforums

My forum, which has gzip is well, passes this test:

http://leknor.com/code/gziped.php?ur...s.minidisc.org

What's up?

It shouldn't depend on the browser -- there might be a misconfiguration. I think it'd be best if you try and fix it for IE, as I imagine 75% or more of the users here (Members and Guests) employ it.

I think part of the slowdown is a side effect of the new inline advertising, as well.

Test using this address: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/index.php? and it does say it's using gzip.

Interesting, thank you for the clarification tkam. I'm very curious as to why the address I tried wouldn't work, though -- it shouldn't be like that.

Read his message again, kurisu. He said IE page status doesn't show the compressed size, but that Firefox does. The same is true of your URL:

1. IE shows your page as 74584 bytes.
2. Firefox shows the same page as 13782 bytes.

Also, if you run the test you were running on any specific page URLs you're on at Head-Fi, it should show gzip.

grawk, if you're seeing in-text advertising, then you're on the wrong template, as we're not currently running that on the primary template. The current primary template is "vBulletin 3 TEST TEMPLATE," and the template with the in-text ads is "KONTERA TEST TEMPLATE." To choose your template, look at the extreme bottom-left of this page, and you should see a drop-down menu with currently two template choices available.

 

[grawk]

Ah, ok thanks. Switched back. I'd changed because of the misformatted header. When it didn't fix it, I didn't change back.

Browsing is faster today, but for the past few days, especially last night, it's been pretty slow.

Mostly it is quite slow when posting messages and sending PM's.

Sybil took over pinkie?

 

[jude]

Yeah, it's laggy for me right at the moment, especially when trying to post. We'll try working on it some tonight. We'll be making some changes soon that will hopefully have us in better condition for the longer term, too.

Thanks for the patience.
