+ShowStop Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've noticed a trend that's been bugging me lately. Right about 11:00 or 11:10pm PST, the GC.com website slows to a crawl. It seems like the database all of the sudden switches to snail mode. Am I the only one that notices this? Its pretty consistent every day at the same time. Is there a server job scheduled for that time that is doing something to the DB? This is prime time for me to log my finds and I always seem to wait 30secs or more for my find log to be accepted instead of the normal 2-4 secs. Just curious I guess. Link to comment
+Cardinal Red Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 That pretty well describes what I would see at exactly the same time (2:00 AM Eastern). If you're surfing GC.com in the wee hours and it comes to nearly a screeching halt - it must be right around 2:00 AM. I always assumed it was site maintenance. Never heard of anyone else ever asking about it. Link to comment

+ShowStop Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Bump for an answer... Link to comment
+The Jester Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I've learned to avoid that time slot - 11:00pm to 11:15pm - as I can't seem to get anywhere, even the forums are super slow. Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I think that is the time for the daily backup of everything. The forum server is usually unresponsive for five minutes or so. The database servers just seem really slow about that time. Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Ive noticed it too. Link to comment
+cachenut06 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well i havent documented the times this occurs for me, but it happens a lot longer for me then 5 minutes, and it doesnt always occur at the wee hours of night. Ive had it happen during the day mostly on weekends. Most of my problems with Server too busy happen anytime between 11-5 or 6 night to morning eastern time Link to comment
Aushiker Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) G'day It happens around this time for me most nights at around 2:00 AM Seattle time (PST?) --- that is the timeout errors. Of course this is around 6:00 PM my time. Being getting them for a good 1/2 hour this evening. Andrew Edited February 7, 2007 by Aushiker Link to comment
+jackrock Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I haven't noted the times but I notice slow downs in the mornings before wanting to go out caching. Say Friday morning, Saturday morning. I assumed it was a heavy traffic time with lots of people online doing the same thing as me -- trying to get up to date info to go out for the day. I notice the slow down for an extended period. Also early evenings a lot of the time. I get slow downs or just can't get on at all "Server busy" pages come up. Link to comment
