First, I applaud you guys for so effectively using the forums as a support tool.

However, it is just plain slow and really can take you out of the flow of work waiting on pages to load, searches to complete, etc. Easy solution would be to throw more hardware at it, of course...

Thanks!

We use our bonded T1s at work to host the website.  I think part of it could be our ISP's peering agreements and what NAPs they go across... The response within the office is less than a 10th of a second, so we're pretty sure it's not the server or the database.  Ivan gets good speed and several people that we talk to get good speed as well; however, from my house, I would kill for a response time of only 2 seconds... mine is more like 6+ per page load (and I have 5M/1M bandwidth at home with a ping time to Google of around 25ms, so I know it's not my ISP at home).  From what I have been able to tell, it's either our ISP's peering or some sort of bandwidth limiter/content filter that our ISP is using and right now we're going back and forth with them arguing about it.  I keep leaning toward some sort of content filter, because almost always, the page loads faster for people when they use https and not http to load the SF website.

So, as I know more, I'll let you know.

Thanks, Ben. As I said originally, not a big deal really, but just thought you guys ought to know. Thanks!

Not a problem... once we get something worked out with our ISP, I might ask you to let me know if it gets any faster.

You guys spoiled it to me... now I started thinking it's too slow here too! I was happy! Why did you do that?

Nah, just joking. I get the 2 sec delay and am confortable with it.
