Actually it was lagging a little bit earlier, not now though.

It was for me earlier. Then it seemed fine, but now it seems to be back to being slow again.

I attribute it to all you terrorists on here.

I think it may be comcast. is everyone else on comcast that's having issues?

if 999 users is slowing a site down ran by 5 servers than that's pretty sad.

Runs slow for me most of the time, but then again, I have a Comcastic connection...

It is running slower now than normal. But it wouldn't even finish loading threads from my work network @ 9:30 PM.

are you using comcast by any chance?

my download speeds are fine, but the sites I'm using to check my speeds absolutely refuse to render any upload speeds.

While 999 generally shouldn't be a problem, you would be absolutely amazed by how slow vBulletin can be.

PAFOA currently runs off of 3 web and 1 db just to support vBulletin. Compare that to other sites I run which support just as much traffic off of 1 web and 1 db.

I have plans in place to replace apache/mod_php with nginx and fastcgi at some point which should speed things up but that would require some of this mythical "free time" I keep hearing people talk about
