about speed of pylonshq website?

[myha...@gmail.com]

recently i visit website of pylonshq, it is very very slow,it is more
slower than before,especially the page that is entered into
http://pylonshq.com/project/ will be showed after longer time.

why?

The /project and /wiki pages are served via Trac under Fast CGI, vs
the rest of the PylonsHQ site which runs in its own Pylons process.
Trac also is retrieving lots of various information and formatting
it, perhaps its not caching it, I'm not sure as I haven't looked into
Trac's code-base. Also, depending on what country you're in, and
other various network tidbits, response times vary.

What I've been noticing off and on, is that Google's web traffic
tracking script is causing the page to load significantly longer on
occasion as their site doesn't seem to be responding very fast on
occasion. While I rather like Google Analytics, this issue does
concern me, and is apparently why the company I'm at (O'Reilly)
stopped using it as well.

Cheers,
Ben

I've noticed this for a while too... also something's wacky with images
-- they often take a long long time to show up. Like something wrong
long time. But most of the slowness seems on and off; maybe it's
finicky FastCGI, people seem to often have trouble with it.... don't
mean to be complain-y, just letting you know how things look from the
east coast USA!
