Site Performance

Not sure if I should post this in the Customer Feedback thread; however, the site performance is very slow for me. In the forums, it takes about 10-30 seconds for a page to load once I click on a link.

Who knows, maybe it's just me lol.

Is Comcast your ISP?  I switched from QWest to Comcast a few months ago, and have learned some interesting things about Comcast's service.  Speeds are very dependent on network backbone.  For example, when running a speed test to Los Angeles, I get mediocre speeds, at best.  However, I get kick-ass speeds to the east coast.  My cable service and FIOS in California, and my DSL service here were always consistent, so there's something with the way Comcast routes that causes speed fluctuations.

If Comcast is your ISP, let's try something.  From a command prompt, run an ipconfig and check your IP address.  When I first signed up with Comcast, the forums here were slow for me, too.  I just replaced my PIX 501 firewall with a 520.  Naturally, I got a new IP address when I brought the new firewall on line, and this time I was on a completely different network.  Now, this forum speed is fine.  The original (slow) network was 24.x.x.x.  The new network is 174.x.x.x.  Maybe you'll see a difference if you do ipconfig/release, ipconfig/renew?

Things seem ok for me.  How are they now?
