[fisherjack1394]

yer mate i couldent get online for ages there. and it is still running really slow for me now, i dont think it is my computer

[fishingnut]

still slow but no where near as bad as before

[rastus]

i think since the last update it has been slowing down as the days go on

i find myself less frequently visiting as it takes far to long to load the pages at the best of times.

[Davo_Dinkum]

wasn't able to get on for a while .

but running quite ok here no speed loading issues here.

really? we have not found it to be slow. We visit the site on numerous computers in different locations. This is not to say it isn't performing slowly for some users, it just means it is harder to track down causes when you don't realise it is happening.

I'd be guessing thousands of accountants are jamming the network lines with last minute lodgements, people & businesses moving money via internet banking ..... .

Been slow for me this week too with pages failing to load on a couple of occasions.

[Gad]

Off shore banking at it`s slowest,that will give some one a slow trail to follow

[rayke1938]

Its slow again. I have time to go out the back and pour a beer. Not good for my health have to get up early in morning to go fishing.

mm beer .. very slow for me tonight as well with timeouts on posts opened in new tabs every so often

[rastus]

well i was slow about 10min ago and now its fast.

but normally its slow even at work ( on the south side) and i just changed jobs and the new connection is not any better.

freaky im browsing while writing this and it seems fine tho earlier tonight not so good.

[Feral]

Was very slow last night, timing out on me when trying to post, gave it away in the end.

[noname]

it seems to be late in the arvo when this happens for me, 5 oclock for a few hrs, other sites are fine though?? hmmm. like others, i just jump on at a later time.

We will be doing some optimisation soon on the forum so hopefully this will minimise server queries to help with server load. Hopefully this will help with the performance of the site. Just like Twitter and some of the big sites (but on a lesser scale) we have a precarious job of balancing hardware, development and costs to provide a site that is stable, fast and performs well.
