yup, it seems to vanish occasionally. asa mentioned in the snivvelfest thread that it's due to metro being tardy in responding, hence my thread the other day asking how others were finding the speed.

It seems a few people were having the same issue where it takes a moment to get reply from the server but once you do it flies down. Oddly the ping for the server is only 176ms which is hardly massive so perhaps its something to do with the software or the database server. Will keep investigating, there is a bottleneck somewhere, I'll find it.

Maybe YOU'RE the bottleneck.

maybe the bottleneck is at the point where YOU have code in the system. Actually I might have an idea where it is, but I shart reveal it publically.

Back to the other site, i notice the ghastly tvmagman has been banned? Any fabulous reasons or was it just because he even out-cretined the usual new members?

If you want to work out how long the script is taking to execute the simplest way is to call the php now() function at the start and end and see what the difference is, then record it somewhere out of the way. That's your run time right there.

You can even record a series and see if they spike.

ooo and then you could run a fourier analysis on them to see if there's a periodicity.

OOOOO and then you could see if there's a correlation between periodicity and tvf traffic.

PFFT, maybe if you'd *let* me do Meanwhile 2.0, you wouldn't HAVE this problem.

Meh, 2.0 is so overrated. We need to go full circle and use HTML 1.0 or better still get sput to write everything down and then send it via Royal Mail and we can reply.

Haha! I actually clicked that link and read it. It's mostly garbled spew but I did manage to decipher that he's blaming RBS for not having a proper website. If it is RBS' fault, then I think we should thank them.
