Web site runs slow only in openSuse

[ralphpam]

I like to use a forum from Trailerlife that worked great for months and then slowed to the point it kept timing out. About a week ago it worked great for 3 days and then slowed to a crawl again. It works fine on windows and also on Kubuntu so it only seems to be a openSuse problem.
Could anyone give me some ideas on how to get it working again on openSuse because that is the main OS I use.

Maybe you need to disable IPv6

i see that http://www.trailerlife.com/cforum/ is running on
Microsoft-IIS/7.0..

i've heard (but never actually seen hard evidence) that since both the
browser AND operating system of the user (you and me) can be seen by
the web server (in this case Microsoft-IIS/7.0) that server gets to
decide exactly HOW FAST to feed out the bits needed to SEE the site on
your screen...

you DO know that the web server gets that, right? take a look here:
http://aruljohn.com/details.php
http://browserspy.dk/showprop.php
http://www.nirsoft.net/show_my_ip_address.php

SO, if Steve Balmer wants to "bury Linux" do you really think he tells
his programmers to feed bits and bytes to Firefox on Linux as fast as
to Internet Exploder??

well...the bottom line is: don't blame your Linux for the slowness of
Trailer Life....just use M$-Crapware to go there...and, you can
tell'em how slow they are serving to non-M$ users (like they might care)..

While it is true that microsoft and others can do this, and have been
found to do so in the past
(http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1...9155572,00.htm ) that
hopefully isn't the case here. I'd check the IPv6 stuff and also see if
you get different performance by adding the 'User Agent Switcher' add-on
to Firefox. If you do that and switch so your system looks like IE 7 on
vista and things improve then that would be very exciting indeed.

Good luck.

I concure. I deselected IPv6. rebooted. tried that website, switched to IE7 vista. even tried changing from traditional to knetwork. None of is has worked. It was great, lightning speed for a couple of days. then sh**. Now after the last kernel update the whole computer seems to have slowed down.

sighhh,
Ron

[danorske]

Any new ideas?

[caf4926]

We are short on detail really. 'The whole computer slowed down'.

OK, we know the internet was little slow, but now I'm not sure what you mean. Though it sounds like you may be describing a graphics issue, especially since you mention the kernel update.

[danorske]

ahhh, My bad. forget about the whole computer being slow. It's ok. The only thing thats slow is those particular web sites that the OP mentioned and RV.Net RV and Camping Forum – RV, Trailer, Camper, Motorhome, Camping and Campground Information It's a forum for RVer's.but I think they are the same. When going from one page to another takes what seems like forever. If there are a lot of replies to a question it takes as long as 60 seconds to load that thread. If its a new question without any answers yet it will take abou25-30 seconds to load.

It's been like this for quite a while then the other day it was ok,great, fast. now its back to slow.

Other web sites are fine.

Thanks,
Ron

This is on Suse 11.1 64 bit firefox 3.0.11

The issue is nothing to do with your computer, at least that's most unlikely. It's more likely that aspects of the website design is responsible. I haven't look through the source code because it wasn't loading for me either, but then I have a download running full whack.

I'll take another look in an hour or so.
