Try 20.

I re-set it to 20 already.

And i re-did my score, it was 4.2 now (everything else was 5.9, but the graphics was 4.2)

Are you seeing the blue skin or the blazers one?

 

[julius]

Are you seeing the blue skin?

If so, can you repeat your test and see if it's still laggy?

what blue skin? the back ground is the new red/blazer scheme.

 

[julius]

I manually switched it to the Portland scheme, instead of the default one, and it seems better. could be coincidence or something other you did.

Do you see similar threads at the bottom of this page?

no

Where was it slow? Just in the game thread or everywhere?

 

[Denny Crane]

And please switch back to the xenforo default (not the sportstwo default). Only for our diagnosing this issue

 

[julius]

I just opened up 4 new tabs, and the lag wasn't bad (as it was earlier), so I don't think it's a chrome thing.

OK.

It was slowest in the game thread, but occasionally it gets slow in regular old threads (this one is starting to slow a bit now)

 

[Denny Crane]

It's just you and me and you're using the base xenforo.

"Info on browser and version might be helpful. Does task manager suggest that cpu or memory is excessively used? You ca also use about:memory to see what memory is being used."

That's from the developers and others at xenforo's forums.

 

[Denny Crane]

open another tab and type about:memory in the address bar that is.

How much RAM in your computer?

4.

I switched to Firefox and the lag isn't nearly as bad.

 

[julius]

I'm going to test it with just firefox for a while. So far it seems better.

 

[Denny Crane]

Chrome is a resource hog, FWIW. It trades high RAM usage for speed. If your computer is swapping, it'd seem really laggy in general. Swapping means the programs you're running have used up the 4G of RAM and it's temporarily moving running programs to disk to make more RAM available.

How bad is the lag with firefox?

 

[julius]

I used to use firefox a lot, but changed to chrome a few years ago. It isn't as good as I thought maybe.

Although this is lagging again when I type. So maybe that's not the issue.

Not nearly as bad.

but why would it only be this website?

My physical memory was high w/chrome, now it's less.

If I check task manager, firefox is using 280K of "memory (private working set) "
it says.

 

[Denny Crane]

It really seems to be specific to your computer. It's not servers, it doesn't seem to be network.

Are you running any other programs? Virus checker? Firewall?

How many WWW sites do you type stuff into using an editor like this?

None that I know of.

It seems quicker now, I deleted some junk files and did a disk cleaner.

I can turn on the skin and plugins if you'd like to try now.

How full is your hard drive? It is a hard drive and not SSD, right?

The more full it is, the slower your computer goes with Windows (NTFS).

its basically half full, but it's a 1 TB hd.

like I said, now that I cleaned out some crap, it's much better.

 

[Denny Crane]

OK, I turned back on all the plugins and theme for you. Tell me if/when you experience any issues.

Ok. So far typing is a little lagged, but nothing like it was before. The words show up like maybe, 1/4th of a second behind the typing, whereas before I could string off 6 or 7 words and nothing would show up.

 

[Denny Crane]

In chrome and firefox?

 

[julius]

In chrome and firefox?

I did the test in chrome, haven't done firefox yet.

 

[julius]

Firefox has no real noticeable lag.

 

[Denny Crane]

Maybe you have malware or spyware that affects chrome. It shouldn't be slow if firefox is plenty fast.
