I was wondering if you gals noticed a speed increase on the forum.

With the latest maintenance, we added another server to the array, now there's 4 boxes powering our Purse Blog and Forums. I know that the real test will come on Monday, as it's the busiest day of the week... still wanted to check in. ;)

Haven't been around much the past week or so since the speed had degraded on this site. I'm a systems engineer and manage a large group of servers. I become easily annoyed with sites that become constipated for one reason or another. This joint is flying about at a fair clip which is nice to see.

BTW...the specs on the servers look quite respectable. I have several Dell and HP servers in my farm.

THere's not really much difference to me, tPF has always been really fast for me, but it might be due to the fact that I'm probably not active much during the most busy hours (as I am in Europe).
