I asked on the call today about performance on hub, and I've done some further testing.
What I'm seeing is a lag in accessing a page. Basically, for every page I view there's a brief pause (maybe 1 or 2s, enough to be noticeable) before the page starts to load. I'm seeing this from home and work - both Ultra 20s with firefox 3.5.2. Retrieving a page with wget shows exactly the same pattern - it connects, then there's a definite pause before data starts coming back. I don't see this on the current opensolaris.org site. So it's not network latency. (I'm in the UK, so there's going to be *some* delay.) I've tested this with wget repeatedly: % ptime wget http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/faq/getting_started_developers/ --20:10:26-- http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/faq/getting_started_developers/ => `index.html' Resolving www.opensolaris.org... 72.5.123.5 Connecting to www.opensolaris.org|72.5.123.5|:80... connected.

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 81,389 (79K) [text/html] 100%[====================================>] 81,389 33.49K/s 20:12:27 (33.42 KB/s) - `getting_started_developers' saved [81389/81389] real 4.937 user 0.002 sys 0.004 For the latter case, the download itself (given the size and the reported rate) is about 2.4s, leaving about 2.5s unaccounted for - and it's obvious when I run this that there's a long pause (about 2s, which seems about right) after "HTTP request sent," before data starts coming back. (It's also clear that the page weight has gone up, quite a lot in this case.) -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
