that's a lot of servers ... but it seems it's not enough, because i see pages reload slow at peak times.. maybe another server won't hurt...

i'm sure he is on dial-up, because the search functions work at the same speed as the dial-up..

All servers are on 100Mbps burstable links with the download servers using lower-grade (Cogent) bandwidth.

maybe that's why there's a delay sometimes.. have you thought about jumping to Gbps? how much are Gpbs switches nowadays???
and thank you for spending a lot of money for this free website..

The slowness is not because of bandwidth... You can saturate a 100Mbps link on a shitty 400Mhz computer with 128 megs of ram and a 5400 rpm IDE hard drive. 
The slowness is from excessive disk I/O which causes bottlenecks when retrieving data from the databases in order to send out the info for the threads to everyone.. Search was the main problem with this... If I turn off search I can probably handle 1200 ppl as well as I can handle 850 now.

2.4 gigs
A lot of it is indicies though - if I remove those, it'll probably be about 1.4 gigs
Posted by jon on Nov-05-2004 22:42:
is it possible to host it on a ram-drive? or is that way to complex to set up?

that's a lot of data .. if you think about it, that's about 1,400,000,000 characters, if we say that every word is 5 characters long on average, then we can say that you have about 300,000,000 words ..
that's a lot of words.

that's during post-whoring week? don't you know about that??
when everyone gets online and gabbers about why life sucks or what they saw on the highway that looked so funny?
i hear post-whoring week is a bigger phenomenon that sweeps month on tv.

make a rule like, if u dont post for 6 months, your ID is deleted.
wouldnt u think if there are 40k members, that more than 910 should be online at the same time>?

hmmmm. or maybe not. |
are ya serious here or not?
yes everyone on this site is into the dance genre (reason we logged on) but i don't want to log on JUST for the reason of discussing that....sometimes i just want to share random thoughts with other ppl who like the same kinds of music
like you'd find a random chat section on a msg board dedicated to any subject.

Read through the earlier pages of this topic. We've already discussed the different options.
