We're in the cloud

Yep. I consider myself lucky that my cable internet provider has always throttled it's users from day one.
They throttled to the service level that you subscribed to - of which there was only one choice to start with - but you got that much even if you were the only person in the neighbourhood on the system.
You didn't get more because your were the only user.

I like that because it allowed them to maintain that speed when everyone else in the neighbourhood signed up, and they engineered things to make sure that there was a reasonable over-subscription on the pipe out of the neighbourhood.
Smaller pipes into bigger pipes as the saying goes.

This CPU throttling is driving me nuts though.
I just shut down everything except the board. The only thing showing up in my current processes was IMAP. So, I turfed my IMAP e-mail account and changed it to POP3.
My current processes waver from "None" to the main file to load the board, and I'm still being throttled.

The F*(ker of it is that there have been no slow database queries since 10:12 AM.

So whatever it is has nothing to do with the board.

Oh, and my point about being lucky to be throttled from the beginning is that the other cable provider up here set things up as a free for all from the beginning and then as more people signed up, the early adopters went from smokin fast to a lesser experience.

My experience was the same all along. No artificial high expectation was set. So there was no let down when things got chunky.

I have not noticed anything slow about the site...if anything it's after then normal...at least on my end. I know my Firefox has been painfully slow since the last "Upgrade" that came through. I've actually had to start using my old internet explorer. On it right now becaust firefox just ain't cutting it...for now at least.

Yep, and it doesn't seem to matter what I turn off.

I'm starting to think the server has been hacked.

 

[Diplomat_Wagon]

It's been unavailable 3 times today.

I just had an issue, had to shut it down and reopen the browser.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

I've been futzing with things off and on all day.

Things are as good as they are going to get now... and it seems pretty good at the moment.

 

[69.5CUDA]

good...its hanging while i try and scroll....

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Scrolling an already loaded page is all in the browser.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Okay. The server itself has run clean for the last four and half days.
I'm calling it fixed....

There is still the occasional slow database query, but those have been there all along.
Nothing short of a vBulletin re-write is going to fix that.

Speaking of which, they are starting to show sneak peeks of the new version.
It should be a whole ton of fun.. [smilie=2:

Huh.

We haven't been in the cloud for about a month.

That's the Product Search Engine.
