Having the same problem.
Thought it was just my ISP acting up again.
The old server was like this in the beginning as well. We'll speak to the hosting company and see what can be done about it.

Thank you.
Still slow and sporadic. 11:00 pm EST.

...and it probably will be until we can get in touch with the server people.
It sucks....
but we'll fix it.
Thank Christ, I thought my ISP was playing silly buggers again (bunch of Wankers)
Telstra Bigpond and there damn Caching system, gives me the shits!
It should hopefully be fixed now.
For all you geek types:
Apparently GoDaddy installs and runs tomcat by default and that Java hog was using up a TON of memory. I've killed it, so hopefully performance will be better as a result.
Bit of feedback from Australia, seems to be running much faster from this end, now as long as I can stop Telstra at this end from make the beast with two backsing it all up everything should be sweet!
Thanks for all of your efforts Daryl [thumbsup]
Time for a [drink] or 3!
Thanks Daryl. [thumbsup]

Yes, but that's very strange. Since I killed Java, mine has been flying. Doing a quick ping shows that I'm getting consistent < 30ms responses (which is outstanding). I'll keep doing whatever I can to speed it up, but there's not a ton more I can do right now I don't think.
Mine is working well too.
I don't think I'm waiting 10 seconds for a page to load.
Is there a 'quick ping for dummies' explanation of how to do it?

I'm sure darryl will correct me if I'm wrong but here:
Start - Run - cmd
Then type 'ping ducatimonsterforum.org'
My results:
C:\Documents and Settings\******>ping ducatimonsterforum.org
Pinging ducatimonsterforum.org [208.109.22.144] with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 208.109.22.144:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 70ms, Maximum = 71ms, Average = 70ms
So average response time was 70 milliseconds.
I hope thats right.

It's a command line app that use just type "ping www.ducatimonsterforum.org" and it sends tiny packets of info to the server and measures the response time. Anything under 70 is considered OK, anything under 50 is good and under 30 is friggin outstanding. On mac you can do this from the Terminal prompt. On PC you may need to download a piece of software (like Putty, it's free) as I'm not sure if PC has an app comparable to Terminal built-in (I haven't worked on a PC for years in any meaningful way).
<edit>
JBubble has posted the PC instructions for you. Also helpful would be to do a comparison with dmf and another known quantity like google. If you're getting crappy responses on google then your ISP sucks 'cause Google is always fast. So, ping away and feel free to post up.
Just FYI
My average time for google was 59ms. The forum is pretty consistently at about 69ms.
Just tried it...google average is 13 ms, DMF average is 31 ms.

Wow, you must have an awesome ISP. But, that's good news 31ms is a very respectable number. And being only 18ms behind google (who's probably the fastest on the planet ain't that bad).

This puts us within 10ms of google (which is close to consistent with mine and ms. incredible's findings) and is quite good. Seems that Ms. Incredible and I just have better ISP's ;)
ping DMF- 90ms
ping google-54ms
and I know my signal strength from my ISP sucks. We have been fighting with them for over a year to increase our signal strength. [bang]
not a problem...
unless you're Speeddog...
or...
Spidey. [evil]

It's just AT&T DSL, performance varies at different times.
Notice that both their names start with "sp".... Very interesting. As a side note, it seems I'm creating an army of geeks - we shall rule the world!
FTR....
DMF average...93ms
Google average...54ms
geek on Garth.
DMF ping was 28 - 30ms for all except one, which was 110. 16 packets sent....
Google was 79ms. :-\
Got an "Address not found error" about 1/2 hour ago.
Just ran into some slowness again.
It seems to be when it's navigating within the DMF, like when I click on 'replies' or jump to a different board within the forum.
While it was trying to check 'replies', i pinged and got 52-54ms on a dozen packets.
It's gotten better throughout the day, but is still--about half the time--noticeably slower than navigating other websites.
It's probably Nate or Nick's fault. Their names start with "N".

I have broad shoulders...
plenty of room to handle blame. ;)
Ping times don't tell the whole story. For example the database can be choking and that wont effect ICMP.

That is true. But I'm the only one that can see the MySQL side of the equation. FTR, it's doing very well. The SMF guys do a pretty decent job of optimization.

I can see it too...
but I don't know what I'm looking at. :P
Man, I am having serious issues. The board is unreachable for minutes at a time during random times of the day. I can get everywhere else without a problem, the board just times out.
Grr, just happened again. And it logs me out too. Ping test was average, high 60s, just couldn't load the page.
Sometimes it's just peachy, and sometimes it's unfathomably slow. I click on an internal link and wait, wait, wait. I go to another site and come back to the DML a minute or two later. Then the page has loaded. Sometimes.
There's no rhyme or reason to it, but it's frustrating.

I'm still seeing this as an issue. The site seems very slow at times today even though ICMP is steady, so probably a processor thing
25 packets transmitted, 25 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 83.489/85.026/92.273/2.077 ms

I've been experiencing some slowness. Other sites will load up while I'm loading a thread.
I've been having some slowness and the occasional Page Not Found.
Not enough to complain about.
no slowdown here..
