[resolved]A2K Very Slow in the Early Morning

 
 
Reply Mon 12 Jan, 2004 05:57 am
I have noticed something. I am on A2K early in the morning. On the days that I have been REAL early (6 AM E.S.T) A2K is abominably slow. I mean that it creeps. I have cable, and I am talking of speeds slower than dialup. At around 6:30, it is back up to speed again.

Any explanation for this?

I occasionally get times when a shortcut has to be clicked 5 times before it will work. 5 minutes later it's fine.

And 6:00 to 6:30 AM e.s.t. is my best window of opportunity...

Thanks for posting, Phoenix. Craven? You out there?

('course at that time of day I certainly hope the Cravemiester is catching some shut-eye!)

Hmm, it means that you east coasters are catching too many scheduled tasks (log deletion, portal building, link validation...).

I'll have to move them earlier and try to stagger them a bit more. Making them start at midnight my time is catching y'all right when you wake up.

I'll leave this thread open so that I can get feedback on it. If you guys can try to report precise times of slow behavior over a few days it will help me pin point exactly what process is hogging resources.

Since there are at least 3 main nightly tasks for the hamsters I might need some help pin pointing which one is causing the slowdown, as SP notes I am asleep then.

Yeah, I figure it's the 3AM EST slot that's problematic.

If anyone notices when on the hour it starts it'll help, as I have various maintenance tasks scheduled for different minutes of the hour.

Can anyone let me know if 02:46 PST sounds about right? 15 minutes before or afterward fit within one of the tasks' time frames as well.

Edit: when I said EST I meant PST.

Spoke too fast. It's 6:15, and things have slowed down, although nowhere as bad as yesterday.

By 6:30, everything seemed back to normal.

I didn't have any trouble at the same time, and I've got dialup.
