Today was a better day... the team worked hard and every day we seem to make progress. This was the first day I've seen where we were able to focus on more then just stability and speed. We upgraded multiple times today and fixed what I hope to be the last big performance related issues. We are continuing to work on performance... but believe we are solving the big issues.
It was also a pleasure to see over 240 users logged in during the day, this is also the average number of users we typically had seen before we started the upgrade last thursday. It was good to see that we were handling the load without seeing serious system regression. Most people reported better performance, even though we were reaching record people online.
Tomorrow we would like to hear from people who are still seeing lag times of more then 15 seconds. Possibly John T. will setup a document that people can edit with a line entry. (Time of Day, Symptom, City/Country). It is hard for us to know for sure if we have bugs worked out of the system. Time of day is important because we need to align this with any restarts. We are hoping to have fewer and fewer of these.
Thanks again for all the people who have worked on the site, given us feedback and allowed us to continue improving the environment.
