calvinator Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 So far... loads slowly... not much there.... offering people to become mods of three forums. You have WAY too many topics.... just start out smaller, then add... very slow... no modifications to make it better either....
Ashoat Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 Loads slowly=IPB 1.3, its always been slow... well, the sites getting moved onto a Dual Xeon maybe soon hehe, it should speed up. Too much forums=I can't delete them all now I spent too much time creating them. No mods=I am soon installing IBStore, and Arcade maybe.
lappy512 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 IPB 1.3 was never this slow, it is this server that is slow. Actually, IPB 1.3 was FASTER than 2.0
Ashoat Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 well, i guess we just wait for our dual xeon then
lappy512 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 you don't need a dual xeon. I could run a fast IPB 1.3 on even a 20 MHz processor. The problem is that they are trying to cram thousands of users on one server. That's what makes it slow. They should only cram up to 50-100 users on this server, but they have more like 8,000. Which is even for the supercomputers.
Ashoat Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 I think 8000 is enough, especially for a Dual Xeon. but they dont pack that much anyways.
myscrnnm Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I am pretty sure that it will speed up considerably after the server has been changed, regardless of the number of users. Intel Xeon processors are pretty fast, and they are also 64-bit. But when you have two of them running side-by-side, well, you can prepare for true 128-bit computing! btw, djbob, what kind of speed does each processor have? I have seen them range from 2-gigahertz to more than 3-gigahertz. And I hope you are using an IBM server, IBM has a fine reputation for being innovative and reliable. Their newest server family, the Blue Gene, is the fastest server in the world, with more than 100,000 PowerPC processors.
Ashoat Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 Well, im not the one using the server , my acquitance PresFox, admin of the 4FreeNetworks is. But i believe the processors are 2.4ghz.
myscrnnm Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Nice, that is like a combined speed of 9.6-gigahertz! Even if you have thousands of users using that server, it would probably be pretty fast.
myscrnnm Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 But each processor is 64-bits. So you multiply the speed by two, and you get the actual speed of the processor, and then you multiply it by two again because there are two of them.
Ashoat Posted February 13, 2005 Author Posted February 13, 2005 but its still technically 4.8ghz. anyways, don't you think its sped up now on the new server?
1337 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Wow. The test message is still here. Talk about a piece of history.
