Back Online with New Hardware

We are back online, on the new hardware, and all network issues have been resolved.

In the forums, we are asking for feedback on load times, so we can prioritize where to spend our time improving performance (now that it can be improved).

When you login to the new FeedLounge hardware, please keep track of some timing information and post them here:

The 4 times I am looking for are:

  1. Home Page Loading time (time after login)
  2. Feed Item List Loading (clicking on a feed in the list, time to load the item list)
  3. Item to Item transition time (classic spacebar, next unread time)
  4. Time to load a tag (please note how many feeds in the tag)

Some times that I am seeing, in testing:

Due to some database development that was delayed due to other factors, the home page loading will still be fairly slow (I have seen between 5 seconds and 2 minutes, based on the number of feeds and tags).

The feed item list loading should be in the 4-5 second range right now.

The item to item transition should be ~1 second, usually less.

The time to load a tag currently depends on the number of feeds in the tag. We will be refactoring the code to attempt to bring that time down to a constant.

Given enough data points, we will prioritize what needs to be tackled from a performance perspective after the home page load (that is priority number one right now).

  1. Back in Black!

    Okay, well, orange.
    FeedLounge is back. Yay!
    I don’t think that I can stress enough that hardware alone isn’t the solution. I field lots of questions as a user from Scott and Alex, asking me about performance, because they’re wor…
