I'm seeing quite the zip also.

Buffistas Building a Better Board
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Suddenly got very quick, yes.
Quick, but the last screen of Natter was double-wide for me for no apparent reason.
(ETA: But it may have been a one-time thing. It seems better now.)
Not no apparent reason. sarameg's post pushed it wide.
Oh, ok.
Fixed it.
Yeah, the site is noticably quicker. Too bad Natter just got killed, or we could really stress-test it.
I ran quick stats on the test site, and the main query that populates both the main page and the message centre now runs 80% faster.
More improvements as I think of them.
Right now, the threads are broken into three groups -- default (centre panel), admin, and tools/archives.
What is thought of the idea of adding a fourth group -- closed. This could clear up the main panel if threads are moved automatically on closing, and I think it would make a couple pages faster. There could be a separate page for closed threads. Which would still be in the read new rotation.
Or would that make things too confusing?
Does there have to be a separate page in order to gain the benefits of it? Or can it just sit at the bottom, aesthetically the same?
