Hi, did you happen to get page footer times?

Hi PL,

I'm not sure what page footer times are - should these be included in the trace?

I think Paul was referring to the info right at the bottom of this page, just above "We Will Not Be Silenced Because Security Is Everything".

The times showing for me at the moment are 144ppm, 8.937s (8.503s). These figures change, and the specific values showing when you run a trace will give Paul some idea as to where the problem lies.

131ppm 16.153s (14.636s)

I have yet to see an improvement in page load times. This problem has not been solved in almost a year. At the moment I'm waiting 3+ minutes..to the point where I no longer participate.

By looking at this trace do you see a problem? I don't know what this stuff means. If not, what else could be causing this? I would typically have a paranoid theory involving gov intervention - but I no longer use drugs and go down that thought path.

Thanks.

Yeah - I agree. It is horrible. And sadly, it is horrible so often, that you are right, it sure causes me to offer my time elsewhere.
