Mostly very fast. Every once in a while it lags just a bit, but still very fast.
how many times do i have to mark someone as spam to get their account blocked? 0:)
Ok, now, please be merciless. Open as many pages as you can at once. There’s a Chrome extension called “linkclump” that lets you shift+select to open multiple links at once. Try it on the recent posts list.
Thanks!
Ummm. Getting the main page, the ones with the threads listed, was fast, but if I click on one of the threads, it’s not so fast. For example, this one:
http://198.199.90.139/?q=node/21874
took ~14 seconds for the thread to appear.

P.S. SB, can you enable the search function… to see how that works speed-wise?
i just opened about 100 blf threads at once... i dont think my computer liked it very much
I suspect it will be a bit slow on some pages still because the cache isn’t warm yet.
I’ve been trying the search function, but something isn’t working because of my quick provisional hack.
I just discovered that private messages do work on this testbed. So blast away. 
That will help to simulate real load.
i had already discovered that ;)
is me just about crashing my pc opening 100x pages doing anything to help the research?
SB, I now have ~100 threads open and auto-refreshing every 3-5 seconds. :D
Thanks for your martyrdom! The server and the DB seem to have survived it. Did most of those pages load for you?
all of them did, most of my screen went white, and then my computer stalled, but they all loaded in about 30 seconds or so.
right now i got a rather long gibberish string i am copy and pasting in a PM over and over and over
Nice! Thanks! Are most of the pages loading for you?
Nice machine you have there if it’s holding up.
So why did you reduce the number of threads that you usually have open? 
I thought the idea was so stress test it…
Here’s another expensive DB query you can try if you’re logged in:

how do you auto refresh that many threads? i think it was opening 100 new windows in 10 seconds or so that was freezing mine, if i can get them all open in one window then i should be able to go at it too
Yep, everything is holding up so far, I would say maybe half of them finish loading, I'm gonna slow down the refresh rate to make sure I give the server a chance to serve up the whole site. :P
@Pulsar, it's a chrome add on called Easy Auto Refresh.
Also, now just for fun I'm taking something like 30 megabytes worth of text (random chinese characters since unicode takes up a ton of space) and pasting it into the username and password area.
pm me the string of text you are using, i will copy and paste it into pms and do that over and over too
Also, for anyone on chrome try this: copy the URL of a specific thread. Then hold down control while you tap T then V then Enter. Control T brings up a new tab, Control V pastes the URL in, and control Enter tells it to load the page.
I think I've put a bit of a hurting on it.. I have a 100Mbs connection and I just opened BLF - All of it. Every page. The server is just barely handing me data - I've only got 20.9 Megabytes from it..
Here's my download capability:

Its as slow as BLF most of the time, and slower then BLF the rest of the time :~
I tried the link but, it doesn’t know me when I try to login.
Everthing else I tried was blazing fast. Pic heavy threads loaded so much faster.
