I run a web server on my home DSL with many Geeklog sites similar to this one. On my most complicated sites page render time is something like 0.3 seconds where here it is 2 seconds at best for simple pages, or 5 to 6 seconds during heavy traffic times. Using the site is almost painfully slow...while I only get about 40 KB/sec max upload from here to most places, that is really all I ever get from the SF servers anyway, and the page render time is so much lower...it might be worth thinking about moving the site somewhere else, maybe not necessarily to my server (do you run a web server?) but I also have a server running on the university network which is not only faster than my server but uses their bandwidth, which is like a T3 or something. It's
CLUG's server...anyway that's another option. The only thing is we don't have control over the DNS name vdrift.sourceforge.net so we can't just point it at a different server, we'd have to get a new domain name and redirect this one to it (either buy one or set up a subdomain somewhere). A quick check reveals vdrift.org is available...Either way I think the SF.net server will do for now, but I have a feeling if this site gets used much we're going to be wanting to move pretty soon.
