SIGNIFICANT forum performance enhancement? ?—Or wishful thinking?

I'm out of town for the weekend, and using

a much slower connection than usual (DSL instead of cableI). Surprinsingly, everything seems faster today; pages are taking between 2 and 3 seconds to load.

Extra line break kindly provided by the software.

Wow! the "Page Not Found" error is gone!  It's only been.....a year? Something like that? Now that's an improvement!

(It's unfortunate that I have nothing much to offer folks in the way of technical knowledge, for I seem to not be experiencing the punishing slowness, the multiple log-outs and other curses afflicting those who wish to offer their help to others here.)

I've seen no noticeable improvement, though I do access via a wireless-G network, so I could well be missing things that others might be seeing.

PS - at least I have not had any major slow-downs, or forum crashes, so I am a happy camper.

Was there some significant change today in the functioning of the forums?

Is the remarkable performance enhancement connected to the Flash Player 10.1.53.64 upgrade today?

Or is it all a delusion or wishful thinking on my part?

Whatever performance differences you may be experiencing are not caused

by changes on the forums platform. I don't think I have ever seen a

detailed report of performance issues from you, so perhaps now is the

time to establish a baseline to compare against if the bad performance

returns. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/481223 for instructions on

how to generate a detailed performance report.

Seems to be back to normal now.

ction:

Now it was 7 seconds for the list of topics to appear, plus more than 5 minutes dowloading images...

Correction:

Right now, time to download pages has increased from the normal 5-7 seconds to more than 20 seconds. This makes visiting the forums a nightmare.

I would say wishful thinking on your part.  Forums will never be able to compete with NNTP technology.  All the companies that are resorting to forum based support services are taking a step backwards in life and sooner somebody like you or me start an independent NNTP support service for Adobe and Microsoft products, the better it would be!

I see no noticeable change in the downloading times of pages of this site here and now. There was an increase in speed to about double several weeks ago, which I timed and reported here

Times are roughly between 5 and 7 seconds as usual since then. However, although an improvement, these times cannot be compared with those in the fair forums, of well less than a second.
