Well, it's only been up for a few minutes (I assume) and it's not exactly very busy on the forums, but I'm already noticing a nice boost in performance

It'll be interesting to see how well it does during peek hours

Looks like they are all there But shouldn't you be defending Greece instead of tinkering with Apolyton?

peek hours - the hours when you watch to make sure your boss isn't peeking over your shoulder while you spost Apolyton.

I'm getting a noticeable load boost too.

Who is he defending Greece from? America isn't going to attack them, Greece is our friend, besides we have to smack France first...........

Well, first there are those evil Turks and then there are those menacing Macedonians. Poor little Greece is surrounded by powerhungry countries...

It's been whizzing along for me so far Mark.........though I guess the crunch will not come until Monday when the Americans start arriving at work.

	Got spare money?

It's 10:30 CST, which is about getting to the time we call "peak hours", and it isn't breaking a sweat. (Well, it is slow, but I'm so used to that for Apolyton it's normal. I mean, it is actually loading the pages is all that matters. )

EDIT: D'oh. It's a Saturday too. ...Well, we'll see how it works when the new invasion of lazy work-slacking RoN cheatseekers comes on Monday.

Much better! Speed is excellent. It is good to have you back at least for a little while Markos!

Yes... peak hours on Monday will be the true test...
But looks great now.

Good job.

While, as Ming says, it's not peak time here, the site is definitely speedy for me. Page loading times no more than 5 seconds today. Great stuff!

Speed has been very good so far indeed

	27-07-2003 10:56									#18
	Suffering from ads?

Speed seems good so far.
Am I correct in assuming that a good trial run during Monday morning (American time) will be a precursor to avatars returning?

Speed seems fine, though I can't really judge it on dialup.

Either that or he just got the whips out and pop-rushed it by sacrificing a couple of spam sharks. On the other hand ... maybe not, they all seem to be present and correct in this thread.

Well, it seems a bit faster for me, but I'm not sure what time those Yanks are going to start work. (BTW, I've been away for a month, so what's this thing with the avatars, are they turned off, just not working yet with the new picture hosting, or is it me?)

Well, Apolyton's been up all day yesterday and so far today. Either the lazy work-slacking RON cheatseekers invasion has cut off a bit or the trick is working.
