Well the site has been slow for days now. Have read lots of information on whats possibly slowing things. Had gotten to the point to try anything actually. So Ive turned off some features such as avatars and whos viewing and others also. These features will remain turned off for now to test loading times on the site. Since changing these settings the site appears to be loading better now. Will likely add back those features again a bit at a time to find which is slowing things on the site...

That wouldn't affect bandwidth or load times whatsoever.Originally Posted by MiniMalistic

Could the fact that you now have your own pic section be the cause of the board slowing. If the pic section is in the same database therein lies your problem.

It's not.
I moved it to file system.
Same with avatars and sigs, meaning disabling them was pointless.

I am glad you think this is funny. If I can remember correctly this 'slowing down' started about the same time as the pic facility was introduced. It does not matter if you put them in the file system or any other system, if it is all on the same server it must slow it down when a lot of members that are using this facility are trying to log on. Remember, the avatars and sigs are limited by size and most members have their own avatars that are linked either to their own computer or another server Which does not affect this server one iota, just their personal computer.It's not.

It is worth a try.

The 'pif facility' has been here for months and this slowdown started about a week ago (ignore the other problems we had before, this is a different issue...).I am glad you think this is funny.

BTW, I just disabled the NZB Index about 20 minutes because that has always been a slow page. It badly needs optimizing. The thing is we've been using it for a long time without the site getting extremely slow because of it.
Now 20 mins after disabling the site is running smoothly. Server load is pretty low now (lowest i've seen in the past week, while before then it would fluctuate between an extremely high level and a low level).
Hopefully it can stay this way over night then I know what the problem is and can look for some help in improving it...

Well done.That is the fastest I have seen it going for a long while.
For a couple of minutes anyway.

When RealitY disabled some of these features, it did speed up for 10-15 mins. Then it kinda ran slow again.It's not.

Anyways, currently runnin' at full speed
