Here’s another expensive DB query you can try if you’re logged in:
http://198.199.90.139/?q=my-subscriptions
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:
PPtk
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.
ive got pretty slow internet connection, so i think im just slowing down myself by all these pages open lol
i have about 80 tabs of my subscriptions open in another browser for about 4 mins, about 40 have loaded
Pic heavy threads don't really have anything to do with BLF. The images are stored on other servers...
PPtk
how did you manage that?
right now this host started going fast again
Cool. Thanks! I have about 1/100th of your connection, so I can’t do a lot of testing. 
So are you seeing any timeouts? Or is it just queuing you?
I imagine a lot of tweaking could still be done to Apache. I adjusted down the number of waiting threads and worker threads, and I reduce the number of max concurrent users. Seems to be saving the system. I’m surprised that it’s still keeping more than 100MB of free RAM despite all this.
Ok, I have to ask, how did you do that? :P I still have mine refreshing 100+ pages, but not quite as successful as you are...
Same here. For us the bottleneck is our own connection.
So far, only a very small fraction of the requested pages have actually timed out - the vast majority (99.2% at this moment) have been queued, but processed eventually. Looks really good, to be honest.
500 concurrent threads of wget
But they are linked from the server correct. They seem to load twice as fast as any other time I have looked. It’s like I just received a free ISP speed upgrade.
The test site is much much slower for me than the current site.
I just tossed another 200 threads at it, and now I'm getting timeouts.
