Default PC getting S L O W E R ?

Is it just me? Changing pages lately on PC is almost physically painful on my 6 Mbps DSL line. I can go get a snack between thread pages. I know that the search function can really bog Vb down. Not sure if that is the case here, but it is becoming difficult to get around the site these days. I can't imagine being on dialup!

So... is it just me?

It does seem slower than when it was the first day on the new server but not as slow as what you describe.

I see occasional hiccups, but for the most part it seems about as fast as it's ever been. I'm on 15 Mbps cable, though.

So I just hit the reply button, and it took 17 seconds for the "reply to thread" window to appear. Of the 10 or so sites I visit regularly, this currently by far the slowest. I may have overstated the "get a snack" part, but it is definitely the slowest one that I use. Wasn't like that a month or two back.

**added: took the same amount of time to "save" as well. Much quicker when I hit edit to add this however.

No, it is painstakingly slow.

Thanks for the confirmation. I seem to have 10-12 second latency to switch pages, on average. Sometimes way longer.

I have found it to be very slow especially over the past few days. It hasn't kept me away from here though....

Darell, is your SOC low? Perhaps that's causing your computer to run a little slower. My gas-electric-powered computer is humming right along.

FWIW it took maybe 5 seconds after hitting reply to get the box to type the reply.
