It may not be 100% Jaime - the pages are very slow at the moment.

I'm off for a cuppa and will try later  :-/

I think the server is very poorly.  I had to shout, swear, and even threaten with Sammy to get it through the POST test after the original lockup...

Mark, can you PM me a traceroute?


The Windows host locked solid, had to power cycle. Then I couldn't get it through POST - no beeps or msgs, just locking. Reseated memory and cpu, still same. Gentle persuation with right foot convinced it to start.  The hardware is about 4yrs old, and I've been worried about it for a while. Time to splash out methinks  :'(

Our recent average according to google is 3.1s, but this will be just for main text, not images, so I guess 5 - 6s should be average?

Many ISPs use Redbacks. Horrid OS on them, though may have improved now.

The old server was always going to need replacement at some point (2.6G P4C, 2G RAM), esp with the extra load OOF puts on it.  The way OOF has ramped up made me consider upgrading a few months ago, but I delayed as it is a mammouth job to rebuild the server (several VMs, with Exchange, SQL, several websites, internet serving DNS (around 100 domains), AD etc etc), not a job I am looking forward to.

Just your (local) router to home gateway is appallingly slow - double what mine is, and my line is hammered.
