We rebooted the server.
Are we faster?
“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

Well, I’ll test it by leaving a message.
Well, that took forever, so I’d say “no.”
Seems faster, yes!
It sure is for me!
Seems faster to me – certainly in the “acceptable” range.
Now it’s much faster.
According to Alexa.com:
Speed: Slow (78% of sites are faster), Avg Load Time: 4.1 Seconds
I think 4.1 is reasonable and that is from before today – so if you monitor that you should get a fair indication of whether speed is improving.

No appreciable difference observed.
Commenting is slow still, but I like that. It makes me think what I’m writing on your blog (but you wouldn’t tell would you; I always put my foot in my mouth! ;-p ).
Jamie: Thanks for that. I believe a new theme would speed things up.
Page loads seem to be the same for me, but they have always been fast.
If it takes as long as usual for the comment to post, then I will not post a second message. If the message posting time decreases significantly, then I will post again accordingly.
Here’s hoping that it doesn’t take minutes – yes, minutes – to post messages.
It seems a bit faster…
Thanks!
I don’t notice a change. ):
Bummer! I just posted on another subject and after five minutes waiting for it to
download….nothin’,notta!
Hopeflly this messege will ‘fly like the wind”…

THIS IS MY LAST ATTEMPT!!
Yeah, when I post a message, I will open up something in another window to read while it loads. Or go wash the dishes. Heh.
However, that does mean I’m not posting as frivolously as I might.
Viewing posts is way faster.
Posting…..well, this is a test. If I don’t post back in the next few minutes, it means I fell asleep again while posting comments.
I have had this problem in comboxes with others using typepad too.
Brian: “MINUTES”? Good grief! I will try to find out what is going with that. I have never had that problem.
Yeah, I’ve always had that problem with commenting… I thought it was just that your site didn’t like safari. However, it does seem a little faster lately.
