Speed of the board

[fredtgreco]

All,

In an effort to get as much information on board speed as possible, please let us know how the board is working for you. Reply to this post with the following:

1. Does the board feel slow?
2. How long do pages take to load?
3. What speed internet connection (cable, 56k, etc)
4. Are images loading OK?
5. Time that you tested this

Thanks for your help.

1. Slow
2. Cable/Dsl
3. 7 seconds
4. A little while
5. (6:12 Pm Eastern)

 

[Puddleglum]

Slow
DSL
7+ seconds, occassionally faster, though I often have to click on the links several times, before it works (I re-started counting each time I clicked)
Images are normally working fine
3:44pm PST

 

[LawrenceU]

Slow
56K
5-7 seconds
8-10 secs.
1730 CDT

When logging several times it has timed out. Once in that is not an issue.

I should also ask what browser you are using. The speed appears to fluctate. As of 6PM EDT I am experiencing fast speeds (2-3 sec.) on Cable with Opera (and also IE, I tried both).

Ok, as I mentioned, it is working well for me now.

Might I also suggest that you run an internet settings test at:
http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks

And perhaps download an internet settings tweaker. The one that I use that has many excellent uses is System Mechanic. You can download the free 30 day version here:

Another free tool is Enter the Internet Registry:

Still another freebie is Dfuetweaker:

For example, I found that I was getting better speeds when my MTU was set at 1500 (a common answer from many reliable sites) and even better when I changed my RWIN setting from 256960 to 75920. [b:a87b9f4230](Using a cable modem)[/b:a87b9f4230]

Just a thought.

It's much better now

 

[LawrenceU]

I use Mozilla Firefox. I just recently switched. MUCH better than IE. More secure, too. It is free and very fast. At times I almost feel as if I am on DSL.

The board seems to be flying for me this morning.

 

[fredtgreco]

Still appears to be going well for me also.

Full speed ahead!

(it's going fine, much improved)

The little picture in the upper lefthand corner is missing on my first page. I have dial-up so I expect it to be slow. For some reason I was logged out today,don't remember logging out.

Seems pretty good here, too. (Cable modem; Netscape/Mozilla)

Oh, and thanks for the links to the "tweak" sites.
