Again, is it my 'puter or DU that's been dragging for days now?

I figure weekends are lighter than during the week, but DU has been dragging for me. Is it my computer?

1. It's been slow or me on DU

every other site is fine.

[Olney Blue]

2. It's DU. Something is wrong.

[BlooInBloo]

3. DU's fine for me...

... well except for people supporting nuclear proliferation & what-not...

4. It ran fine until all the NSA hacks started monitoring the site.

To much of a load on the server.

5. Nope it's not your puter. It is slower than molasses. Getting

ready for November traffic is my guess.

6. It's DU. I'm doing a lot database maintenace this weekend.

It inevitably slows down response time from the database server. We're gearing up for the election next month and will be doing a lot of maintenance, upgrades and implementing changes to ready our servers for the influx of traffic.

7. Thank you, Elad, for letting me/us know.

And thank you all for what you do!

[TahitiNut]

8. Nice catch, Elad. Thanks for monitoring and responding.

Not easy when you're busy ... good on you. Hang in there.

[cynatnite]

9. Good to know it's not the NSA

Thanks, Elad. We do appreciate the hard work you guys do to keep DU up and running.

10. Hmmm...

A little setting of query caches, a little query optomizing, a little table optomizing?

Me too. I feel for you, bubba.
