I havent been on the site much recently but had a few quid to stick in todays offerings and the site seemed very sluggish. Took nearly a minute to loan some pages at bidding time. Anybody else find it waddling under the strain?

Still suffering from NY hangover. Took a few minutes for Wigan, inc a disconnection.

Slower than usual but it would have been a very busy period.
Just noticed it's your 4000 post

It was slower than normal but not too bad. Much faster than certain other sites. |

Yep. Bid page actually timed out for me once, then OK. But all bang on 1600hrs, so I guess too many people hitting F5... You could definately feel the site slow down a bit though. MT is normally one of the snappier ones.

Sluggish for me, put it down the fact everyone is starving after the famine, and fighting over the scraps.

The site was certainly slower this time and apologies for those that were affected. We did experience c. 50% more users on the site at 4pm than the last new loan launch before Christmas. The Shuang is looking to undertake some further optimisation on the code to reduce the number inserts in the DB. The next stage is that post-authorisation we are looking to move hosting to a much more scaleable environment which will also better cater for 'surges' in activity. We are hopeful that these code & hosting improvements will help matters sufficiently. Failing this, we may have to look at changing our bidding model slightly to remove the surge. I will keep everyone updated. Kind regards, Ed

MoneyThing. Hi Ed, The site was dramatically slower for me today at 4.00pm. This only seems to happen nowadays when more than one loan goes live at the same time. Maybe a small stagger in launch times would help?

A couple of brief (c30 sec) delays 4:00-4:02 but not too bad.

New Year's Pudding today? Very slightly better than last time, slow, slow with two stalls, no crashes though.  Stunning cars (can but dream) so thank you to MoneyThing for bringing those to us.  How is the server upgrade going Ed? Afternoon. Not really started work on the performance side of things as yet, however The Shuang made a couple of tweaks which improved the number of bids per second (about 35% improvement). Peak this afternoon we saw 16:  In terms of the server move, as mentioned this wont happen until after full authorisation (wont speculate on the timing so as not to jinx anything! ). Regards, Ed
