(...) Huh? Performance issues? That's new to me. Tell me more. No, as far as I'm aware, the upgrade won't address any speed issues that would make any noticeable difference... What type(s) of problems have you noticed? The server has only barely (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) The only slowness I've noticed is while reading and posting news. Normally I zip from article to article, with even hundred line articles loading almost instantly. Sometimes, though, there are waits of up to 30-45 seconds, rarely longer. I've (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) So life's pretty rough, huh? ;-) (...) That sort of delay can't be the server unless it's gone belly up or is suffering from some massive head wound, which hasn't ever happened AFAIK. (...) Yeah, that sounds a lot more like the culprit. (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Well, when they're working correctly, the DS-3 we have, along with our 6 T1's, make bandwidth ok. When the students are gone for the summer. When they're here sucking it all down, it still stinks. :) (...) Believe me, I'm more than happy to (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It's probably the same scenario that Mike Stanley is seeing, but I'm not so sure sometimes. I'm accessing LUGNET around the hours of 9 AM to 6 PM MDT, in Utah. I'm on a 100Mb LAN connected through Novell's Internet link, which is typically (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Thanks for the info. Yes, a traceroute could maybe help. If you could make a note of the exact time of day too, that would really help. I can check that against the server activity logs to see if anything unusual was happening at that time. If (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jun-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

While I'm not going to name any names, Your ISP's (alleged lack of) private peering is likely the culprit here. Todd's ISP is well peered, and I have never seen any performance problems from the 3 backbones I use regularly. KL (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) By my ISP do you mean Qwest, the provider of our big pipe? If so, name names all you want - I know they suck, and the scary thing is they're buying up companies right and left.
