Every operation which used to be instant when the Mac was new, now has a delay of anything from half a second to over 10 seconds. It feels like walking in mud. And it's always the first time I do something I haven't done for a few minutes -- if I repeat the same operation immediately afterwards, it's instant. Long delays are often (but not always) accompanied by the beachball -- which I see a lot. fjordaan Wed, 28 Jan 2009 22:24:40 GMT http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11041 fjordaan Wed, 15 Oct 2003 20:49:45 GMT http://www.dallaway.com/sloppy/ fjordaan Mon, 07 Aug 2006 21:50:50 GMT http://www.slowwave.com/home.html fjordaan Sun, 17 Mar 2002 23:12:39 GMT http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/01/twitter_on_scala/ Famously, when Twitter's Web2.0rhea app was suddenly embraced by digerati+dog in late in 2007, its original Ruby on Rails architecture had more than a little trouble keeping up the endless stream of digital solipsism. But in mid-2008, the web's startup-of-the-moment quietly ported some of its core code to Scala, and according to Twitter developer Alex Payne, the switch should stand as a lesson to cutting-edge coders everywhere. fjordaan Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:49:37 GMT http://www.otal.umd.edu/UUPractice/ fjordaan Wed, 06 Jun 2001 22:56:11 GMT http://www.watchmouse.com/en/SPI/2008/performance_social_networking_sites.php In recent research, WatchMouse found that many of the world's largest online social networks have poor site performance, leaving users waiting for sites to load or encountering errors. Of the 104 sites monitored, the immensely popular Facebook (facebook.com) site was the worst performer; recording a slow load time and more errors than any other monitored site. fjordaan Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:26:18 GMT
