Bono Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Finally, if you did it earlier you could avoid all that topics about slow loading. :) This looks like it is fast as 2.3 version or even faster.
Management Matt Posted June 13, 2009 Management Posted June 13, 2009 Much better now it's not bogged down by our 5/6 other sites, etc.
galton Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 For me the site is running fast like any other site i am using i mac pro well i think it is normal .. could it be your internet connection or your computer is overheating lagging or anything well i am using safari... actually at first i taught that firefox was great but after awhile i said not let me tell you this guys download internet explorer 8 its even faster than firefox in comparison.And the browser open faster too.Well i dont know a lot about opera cause i dont think it is good cause it has to load everything cause you have this *theme* so get safari its so fast
sunrisecc Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I just went through 3 pages of bug reports and all the updates in the last 24 hours. Not one problem. Great job, Lindy.
Genestoy Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 What a difference a day makes :thumbsup: Running much faster now.
Carl M Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Ive gotta say on my liveboard ive noticed in an increase in speed over my old 2.3.6 and im on a shared hosting plan with IPS!
BlakeC Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 For the most part it's standard PHP/Apache/MySQL compiles. We didn't really do anything magical to them, just gave the forums it's own kingdom and free reign over it. The old forums were sharing a box that was already quite busy.
dieselpowered Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 So I continued to play around with the site the last few days...still as slow as anything. So I decided to try IE8 and FireFox, night and day difference...something in the coding or CSS does not like IE7 or something, cause it was painfully slow and buggy.
crafty55 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 I'm curious as to why IPB3 is slower too. I've let it do its caches, I've tried XCache (breaks css) but it helps only marginal. I've had some of the fastest IP.Board's .0300 sec generation on most pages on IPB 2.3, everyone on IPB3 is atleast .1 I'd of thought IPB3 with it's fully OOP/PHP5 design/overhaul over the old code would perform MUCH faster.
dieselpowered Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 Well crafty, like I said, the site was really sucking wind when I was using IE7...to the point where it would almost seem to crash the browser. The browser window would close and then pop right back up. Using IE8 and FireFox now and the site is nice and fast.
crafty55 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 dieselpowered, the United States Government issued a warning against the use of Internet Explorer browsers, in gov buildings I've noticed they don't tend to use IE anymore. I used to make my sites not work for IE versions, but regardless always suggest Firefox or Opera (Firefox is pretty crappy these days but for most people it's golden, it eats over a gig of ram for me though :( ) IE8 takes like 30 seconds just to open for me, I only use it for windows updates. Try the firefox beta, renders IPB3 JS even quicker then normal firefox... but no it's the actual execution of IPB3 that is slow, on every test instance since the first ioncube beta I tried it has executed SLOWLY and I don't get why... I enjoyed having IPB2 boards load in less then 1 second.
dieselpowered Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 I did not know that...obviously you know more than I, I was just saying that I noticed quite a performance gain after switching. I will take a look at that FF beta, thanks!
dieselpowered Posted June 15, 2009 Author Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks for the tip, that FireFox Beta seems pretty darn fast. Have no real way to test, however, visually it feels a lot faster.

crafty55 Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 envonge, I don't believe you then, everybody I know wonders why IPB3 is executing slower.
Strike X Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Yep it is fast now :) Staffs finally get the message lol! :thumbsup:
Jan Krohn Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Working very fast, although it was working for me fine while the site was on VPS too.
bfarber Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 And to think, we could have silenced you all just by moving the site. :rolleyes: In all fairness though, having the site on the other server helped us to really identify a lot of the issues causing slowdowns because we were looking into the speed constantly. We've made tons of optimizations to 3.0 just from debugging and profiling on the other server. If it was running this fast since then, we probably wouldn't have bothered. :whistle:

We've made tons of optimizations to 3.0 just from debugging and profiling on the other server. As some business related feedback - I would strongly urge you not to make the mistake of allowing these performance issues to linger in a public setting. I was beginning to conclude that maybe IPB was not fast, robust product that Vbulletin is, and I was second guessing my decision to move my sites to IPB. Fast now though, and I am relieved about that :)
bfarber Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 We pretty much always put our early pre-final releases on these forums in order to test, profile and discover issues that you just can't nail down in a development environment. I mean, I don't have half a million posts and 500 users online on my localhost - it's sometimes not possible to see that there is an issue with a feature until you put it in a live environment. Nevertheless, I think we can all agree that the server move has cleared up the speed issues (which we've told everyone to stop worrying about until final anyways) quite a bit so hopefully this feedback has been addressed now. :)
