It was slow a few days ago, now it is reasonable.

It was painfully slow the past few days but seems a bit better today.

Initial request is slow, subsequent requests are fine

I have noticed in the past couple of weeks that SSC pages have had "random" performance issues loading. I've waited up to 10-20 seconds for a page to load and other sites have been fine.

Thanks, a couple updates.

We implemented ASKIMET for posts. This took effect today and shouldn't slow things down, but we are evaluating and discarding SPAM posts. Let me know if things affect you.

We had some networking issues at Rackspace and a failover of the cluster this week. Might have been the perf stuff, but keep an eye out.

That sounds like a good and bad news. And the good news sound great.

Thank you for the update, Steve.

In an unrelated topic, have you ever seen a code and want to vomit but after formatting it you just want to cry? I really can't understand how things continue to work in my office.

Good job, Steve. Hopefully it helps with the spam problem. Thanks for everything you do on the site.

All the time, Luis. I see things here that make me want to vomit or simply pass out. And the same people ask me to figure out why their code is slow! :w00t:

Sounds good and will let you know if there are issues.

Seems like the performance issues have been around more than a week, but it could be related.
