Chat seems very slow

[rusky]

As per the title really, there were about 8 in chat & it started to slow down, not showing people in the chatroom etc.

Not sure if it was just chat or if there was a slow down on the server in general.

Apologies - I was clearing out some old data from a different site on the server and it put a lot heavier load on it than I'd expected. Should all be back to normal now.

No worries, I just didn't want a potential issue slipping past you in case there was something more sinister afoot!

We're getting busier () so I've been slowly reworking the server resources to better cope with the higher loads; it has to be done in small steps though which is why we've had a few blips recently. Should settle down now as I think I've got a good balance for the time being.
