Finally!!! Welcome to the CF's REAL new servers! :D

[Just4Jesus]

Okay, after another 24 hours of tweaking and reinstalling, CF's new servers are finally running at top speeds!

CF had moved to brand new servers which are all much more powerful than our old ones - however, for some reason we were running slower - I figured the problem out and realised that this is because our operating system kernel, FreeBSD, was compiled to only see 1 processor when our servers actually have 4 - this caused CF to slow down to a crawl.

Well, the kernel was recompiled on all servers which were all rebooted.

However, in that process, the time on all servers were wrong. However, be aware that any posts made when the time was wrong will be OUT OF SYNC in the thread or forum - you'll have to look back to find them.

This has been fixed (I left work early to come home to do it).

So we are now finally on CF's new servers, with top speed!!!

Sorry - to me, it's running much slower now than it was before. Just being honest.

Much improved speeds here. Tried to post yesterday and saw your post.

Well done for getting it all sorted, and thanks. I really appreciate the results of your efforts.

It is running faster here, only occasionally it hangs there for a minute, and then runs well again.

Going extremely fast today!

Thanks so much for all the work and time you put in for us and this board.

 

[MeekOne]

Let me know if the site slows down at all - I want to be able to make sure the site is fast all the time.

Thank you, Erwin! It is a lot faster than it has ever been before!!! What a wonderful thing you have done here for us all! Glad the down time wasn't so bad this time either.

COOL !!!
My dialup loading pages is much faster now.

Well, last night, it was lightening fast, but then again, there were only 650 people on.

But this morning it is back to normal(pretty quick)...but last night was REAL fast.

Thanks Erwin!

CF has slowed down somewhat through the afternoon. But still *way* better than what it was last week! I'd say it's back to "normal" speed right this minute.
