[pfSense] PCengine APU sleepness

2014-11-26 Thread Odette Nsaka
Hi there

   finally (see the thread [pfSense] APU and SSD: full install or NanoBSD on 
this mailing list ) I opted for a full install with /var anf /tmp on ramdisk 
on one APU and an ebbedded one fon another APU. They are both working fine.

But, on both, I have some issues with the web interface:
if I'm working (refreshing frequently the web pages) everything works fine and 
fast.

But if i leave the browser open on a web page for a while (minutes) and do 
nothing , when I try to access again the web interface, the pf web server 
seems to be very slow, so slow that often the browser gives up with time-out 
error, as if the APU, php engine or the web server were fallen aspept and 
needs some time to wake up.

The next request, if asked in a few seconds, is answered very fast (alredy 
awaken ???).

I did not experience similar lags or reactivity issues of the other components 
not web related. 

I don't remember a similar behaviour on Alix or PC

Did someone experience a similar behaviour? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

   Odette

Have you tried another web browser? I suspect it has nothing to do with the 
hardware or software but your client. I have not had this type of issue before.

Agree, sounds that way. What it sounds most like might be the browser
hanging onto the TCP connection it was using, but that connection was
actually closed or timed out (though at defaults, the fully
established idle TCP connection would take 24 hours for the state to
timeout at the firewall), or was deleted for some reason. Then the
browser wants to sit there and try and try and try to use its old
now-dead connection.

That's generally only an issue when you reboot a system, or manually
clear its state table, but could happen under other circumstances
potentially.
