I've noticed that the boards have been much slower, even on my T3 connection at Uni.

Yes, I've noticed that too, but at first, I thought it was because of my own connection that it was slow, but now you mention it as well...

I've also noticed a slowdown since the Avatars returned. I'll try to turn them off in my profile and see if that helps.

It helped some, but it doesn't explain the threadlisting slowdown that has been since the Avatars returned.

Loading time for the threadlisting: 293.08 seconds
Loading time for this thread: 89.91 seconds
Loading time for reply form: 69.92 seconds

This is with Avatars off in the CP.

When the Avatars were deactivated the times were all less then 30 seconds.

It seem to speed up.
0.22 seconds to load the redirect page
11.09 seconds to load the thread after my reply
and 6.21 seconds for this reply page.
I'll do a threadlisting test as well...
...
...
82.83 seconds
and finally the index page: 25.71 seconds

It is faster then last time. But still slower then before.

I think we need serious rationing of avatars until the server can handle it properly. Only those with reg dates of 1970/69 should have avatars.

Why does the system force you (or appears to force you) to download the avatars fresh each time. Surely the temp files can be used?

It has to do with a bug in the vB database that holds the Avatars. There is a hack for it that makes the Avatars to be stored as files. But Markos doesn't use it.

The server is too busy at the moment or the maximum number of guests have been exceeded. Please try again in a few minutes.

It isn't fair Never ran into this when the Avatars were disabled.
