ASF site slow recently?


Twas what I referring to. But the warning was being triggered when I had just moved to the site and done a first push on the "quick links tab"

Site seems much faster this morning...my bet is that some of the more elaborate banner ads are the culprit...in that they play havoc with memory...& that this is heightened when more applications are open simultaneously.
 
Joe, I've just about gone nuts trying to send a PM in the last 15 minutes. Couldn't get the preview screen up and then couldn't return to typed text.
 
Over the last few days my cpu usage goes excessively high (greater than 90%) with respect to the IExplore.exe that is applicable to ASF

This has happened on two computers and basically locks up processing until the CPU usage drops back to a normal level - merely using the vertical slide bar impacts the ASF IExplore.exe cpu usage in such a manner
 
Hi all,

I am getting in contact with the host and see if they can figure out what is going on.
 
Anyone noticing any improvement?
 
still getting occasional 90% plus CPU usage on the IExplore process on ASF -site - will check from another computer - watching it as I type tho it seems to have settled to normal drain (less than 10%) on the CPU

GWM, you may have some other issues local to your machines or site, as this is not the norm, nor would ASF latency cause this sort of problem on your usage to your CPU.

Definetly not the case here, as 1%-3% being the norm for web browsing with many tabs & windows open.

This is such a broad shot to pinpoint whats causing it, from flat batteries in wireless keyboard causing lag, to worm, older spec machine, antispyware,antivirus running in background or moderate to high local network traffic or maybe a combination of the above GWM.

To add to these issues it's also peak hour on the net, so all the little kiddies will be refillin their ipods right about now.

The are so many members on ASF (prob 98%)that are not having significiant problems, otherwise they would be posting here at a guess.

I'd say you need to eliminate them one by one, or bring in a fresh machine/notebook till you isolate the problem.

I have had the same problem for the last two days. The site just seems to freeze up for a minute or so then briefly comes good before "freezing" up again. Never noticed this problem before and is not happening on any other sites. It happened just now when I logged in 15 minutes ago.
 
Jaybee

can you see what the CPU usage is when it happens?
 
i've been getting a few people with browser slowness etc. and have noticed a problem with IE7 and google toolbar (especially on win2k machines). they might have released a bad update or something recently, either way i've been going through peoples Add / Remove programs and clearing out a lot of the stuff with web hooks and it makes life better.

look at your browser and see how many buttons and so on you have there. if you have rows of things like yahoo toolbar, google toolbar, plugins for acrobat or whatever else, most of your web browsing problems can be traced to one of these. there have also been some hassles with flash player versions as well.

best thing to do if your browser is sluggish is to go START - CONTROL PANEL - ADD / REMOVE PROGRAMS. go through that and uninstall google toolbar and yahoo toolbar and so on, then restart IE and see how it goes. as cool as google is their toolbar is still just a benign species of malware so the cleaner you keep your browser the better it will run.

Me too.
 
gday joe and others . yeah a few of us in the chatroom were experiencing a few lag probs today , i personally wasnt but 3 other members were . will let ya know how it goes tommorow , have suggested a clearout of temp files etc and hopefully that will fix it .
 
Joe,

I've been timing out quite a bit in the last week when on the site. I had put it down to the wireless card that can be tempermental.
I'll do a tracert and direct ping next time (if) it happens and PM it to you..

cheers,
 
If the browser was the problem, why is ASF the only site where there is a problem. I have absolutely no problem anywhere else.
 
Anyone noticing any improvement?
Yes, absolutely, Joe. I've just logged on, have sent a reply to a PM and accessed a couple of threads and it is 100%. Please make it stay like this, please!
Have you been able to sort out what the problem may have been?
 
Experiencing page load problems/delays this morning - looks like it's the Google ads that take a long time to load?
 
I was having all the above problems too, right up till late this afternoon. Was getting very frustrating.

But all working normal again now.
