    I think Chris had a while loop in one of the more commonly accessed pages that was failing to meet its exit criteria, and therefore looping endlessly. The loop we're suspicious about had to do with the advertising weighting system. We've commented out the offending piece, and are analyzing the failure conditions offline. I've fired off an email to Chris and hopefully he'll be able to read it before hopping on his flight back here. But in any event he'll be in Toronto early next week to replace all the duct tape and glue we've throw into his code ;) We also added 3 3.2Ghz servers which effectively doubled our capacity at the presentation layer. Still more to come... David

    Wow! 3 servers! Just in time for that DOOM III release uh. Not that you guys would be playing that or anything Wonder if a 3.2Ghz even meets the min. specs for that game ... :rolleyes: D.

      How's the site speed and access for everyone now? We think we may have found and removed a spanner in the works, and we brought 3 new servers on. Anyone who is even mildly pleased can give kudos to Peter Zajac (peterz@dundas.com) ;-) David

              So, what do you propose we'll do to Chris for not terminating his loops properly, eh? :-D -- Ich bin Joachim von Hassel, und ich bin Pilot der Bundeswehr. Welle: Erdball - F104-G Starfighter

                                  No, he's just short sighted. As we will all see, including Anders, when the concurrent session count racks up tomorrow morning things will become slower than they are today.

                                    This is getting a little overblown. It may not in-fact be an endless loop problem, or even something that relates directly to the advertising system (although I think it's hilarious that everyone has their shorts in a knot over the idea). David
