The site is just way to slow which usually keeps me from posting. It takes forever to get a message box and then to submit is another delay. It's not my PC, it's not my connection.
This doesn't seem to be a bandwidth issue with the site as my ping times are very consistent. If bandwidth was peaked I would expect to see erratic and higher ping results.
I think the problem is specifically with Vbulliten and SQL. Has anyone with the Dis opened a support ticket with vbulliten? From what I heard they have great support and the slowness experienced here doesn't seem to be an isolated issue as there are pages of hits on google regarding this issue.
Turning off avatars / sigs gives a minimal increase in speed.
