So Much For a speedier ClieSource

[Picasosz]

All those threads lost in an attempt to speed up cliesource and now it is slower than before the great purge whats up with that:confused:

[Jake K]

Seem like a normal speed to me.

I don't think those threads were lost in an attempt to speed up Cliesource either.

[*YellowRose*]

I haven't noticed anything unusual or slow . . . :confused:

[hansschmucker]

Fast as usual. (I use Mozilla with tabbed browsing to load my 32 favourite threads on startup, and it rarely takes more then 5 to ten seconds)

Either have I. Maybe it is your connection.

[Picasosz]

640 K DSL is the connection speed

[aaronrkelly]

hmmm.....no waiting here and all I have is 128K wireless. I am using Netscape but also have no problems or slow downs with IE Exploder.....havent tried Mozilla - am I missing something??? Maybe I should give it a try sounds cool.

[hansschmucker]

The current Netscape 7 releases are actually Mozilla 1.0.x releases, just recompiled with a different name. The 1.0.x series is a bugfix series that doesn't add any more features, as opposed to Mozilla 1.1.x, 1.2.x and 1.3.x (current version is 1.3.2)

Hmm? It seems OK with any of the browsers I am using: IE, Netscape 7.02 and even Netfront. :confused:

[Tafkas]

answer.....Opera 7.01

nothing loads pages faster....and yes, i think i've tried just about all of 'em.

[gothicaleigh]

I have no problem with the speed.
Pages open in seconds. I am on a DSL connection.

Ok, so thats what you are connecting to your ISP at, but it doesn't show bottlenecks along the way.  Do a tracerout to see if there is a slow leg.

[Joel]

Just to add that there's no slowdown at my end here in Guam. I'm using Opera 7.02, btw.

[Serotta]

Using IE, I ma back to seeing a significant wait when loading the main page.

It seems like the bottlenecks, when they occur, are the ads. Once the ads are up, everything else seems to load almost instantaneously. I wonder if the server the ads are on is under-powered.

[tanker_bob]

I have seen slow loading of the front page at work, but not the actual forum pages. No blocker running at work. I don't have that problem at home with my ad blocker running. Looks like it could indeed be the ads.

[Wayne_J_Gilbert]

No problems here super fast connection (OOL) w/IE

Peace,
Wayne

[jedix]

Fast connection here with my cable modem. Not too bad at work, either, with a dial-up.

[MacClie]

It's slower than before with me: IE 5.0 on a Mac.

u need safari - fastest page loads on the planet

i see no slowdown except for the ads:)

[Joel]

Safari 1.0bv51 and Opera 6.0 running on OS X 10.2.3 and on DSL (on a 600 MHz iMac) ... no problems either.

[NXOwner]

Has anybody noticed the speed of this site? It is much faster in the past few days!!! I am using IE, Netscape 7.02 and Opera and even the MSN portal.

[n2ifp]

No, and at times, it seems to take forever to load a page. I am on a cable modem and using IE. There are times I can go to the can and come back and the page is still trying to load.

I repeat, this only happens at times!

[rob_squared]

Its fast as always for me. Using Phoenix .5.

[mikra]

I did not realize any slow down or speed up in the past or today...

It is at good speed as usual.

(InternetExplorer, Netcaptor, CrazyBrowser at Arcor DSL)

[SamuraiCatJB]

I think part of it is timing.... remember you are sharing the outbound connection from cliesource servers with all users who are on at the same time. :)

[tanker_bob]

True. And now that the bandwidth-sucking OT forum has been brought under control, I expect more increased performance.

[DaveTN]

I feel the same way. At times it seems to be very slow. I'm on Cable with 512/128 and it can take about 20 seconds for a page to START to load. Seemed like that happened just before "The Great Purge". :confused:

I also log on at work on my laptop and it seems slow from there too and I 'm connecting over a T-1 (perk of being the boss).
