rbiss Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I find it very slow to type a post. There is a delay like there isn't enough RAM on my computer. I suppose there isn't but I wouldn't be the only one on my site. This concerns me.
Connor T Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Well.. I'm sorry that happens. The site runs really fast for me and others I'm sure. How much RAM do you have? You can disable all the pretty effects in windows to cut back on RAM, if thats your problem.
Connor T Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I've ran on 1 GIG for a long time, and at times my keystrokes were posted like 2 seconds after I posted them. Turns out, I was being keylogged lol. O well, I don't know dude. A windows livespan is only 6 months, till all hell breaks loose.
edivad Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 IPB is slow in my opinion to. I think that it is (at least in part) caused from the fact that it is ioncube decoded, so it must be decoded and processed every time you load a page!

RobertMidd Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 IPB is slow in my opinion to. I think that it is (at least in part) caused from the fact that it is ioncube decoded, so it must be decoded and processed every time you load a page! Q. Do encoded files or the loader affect performance? A. Not much, and when the loader is installed in the php.ini file, encoded files may run faster than the unencoded scripts. Unlike unencoded scripts and those from source based encoders, ionCube encoded files are compiled and optimised at encoding time, and so don't need to be parsed or compiled at runtime. This reduces the usual overhead in PHP, and offsets the performance overheads of the code protection.
bfarber Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 The files on this server are not encoded. As for the slowness, what browser are you using? I find using Firefox that if I leave it open for a few days it slowly creeps up in memory usage until nearly everything in Firefox takes several seconds. Switching tabs, typing, scrolling, clicking links, etc. Usually at that point it's eating up over 1GB of memory on my system. Restarting FF solves the problem usually. (That's not for IPB specifically, that's just usage of FF in general - it needs to be restarted periodically.)
Dll Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I find it slow in all browsers - have tested ff, ie, opera and safari and all take 1-5 seconds to load pages at times.
rbiss Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Is this on this site or on your own IPB 3 installation? I don't have it installed. Just here, and it only happens here and not on any other forum.
bfarber Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I find it slow in all browsers - have tested ff, ie, opera and safari and all take 1-5 seconds to load pages at times. He's not talking about loading pages. Re-read his post.
Mert Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 14 queries 0.4219 sec too slow... 0.4219 isn't slow. You can even say "fast" for a really big framework like the one IPB has.

chasz Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 0.4219 isn't slow. You can even say "fast" for a really big framework like the one IPB has. lol, i thought 0.25 on my own server was bad but 0.4 is gonna be noticable !!! when your aim is to get rid of hacks to go full php5 and web 2, i expect to hit 2.36 speed of 0.11
Malefickus Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I don't know about you all, but my beta 5 install on my shared hosting is having .07 second load times. That's pretty quick if you ask me.
chasz Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I don't know about you all, but my beta 5 install on my shared hosting is having .07 second load times. That's pretty quick if you ask me. this board on load is pushing between 0.34 and 0.55+
bfarber Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 You're talking all of the things IPB has to do in less than half a second. I really don't expect backend processing to get much quicker than that for IPB3 I'm afraid. There may be other optimizations elsewhere that can be made, but in terms of "raw speed", .4 seconds itself is not slow. I can't even blink that fast.
Mark Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Even if IPB loaded in 0.0001 seconds - would you really notice the difference between that and 0.5 seconds?
Andrew-T Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I have 3GB of Ram works well for me. I even use BlueTooth Keyboard. 0.2584 sec
iMonkey Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 holy crap people are whinin about a half second loading time?! HA
bfarber Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 To be honest, .2 vs .5 seconds is not going to be noticable to an end user. There are going to be other factors that come into play when you are talking about those speeds. For instance if some specific request triggered an endless loop (e.g. an ajax request, or a task) you might never notice it, but it might eat up server resources - which would then make the site feel slow even if most pages were fast. Performance and optimizations are a never-ending task.
