Recent feed issues, upcoming scheduled maintenance/downtime, and how you can help

[hoffstyle]

Is there going to be a fix one day of how long it takes for personal profile pages to load?

[sothis]

i dont know what that means

[hamletsmage]

I think they're asking if there is scheduled maintanence to fix the profile pages, which are loading much slower than any other pages.

[sothis]

i know what it technically means, just saying i havent noticed the profile pages lagging

[hamletsmage]

Mine will lag every so often, or only load half the page, usually showing error messages on the friend's feed and then not loading anything below that. I know a few other people have had similar issues, but I can't remember which thread I saw that particular discussion in.

Edit: I found the small discussion on this subject, from the beginning of August.

See this discussion in the bugs forum: [BUG] Profile fails to load properly

I have noticed an intermitent lagging problem with the user pages in relation to the feeds. The profile page will load, then hang for a bit just before where the feed is, then load the feed after a couple seconds & then load the rest of the page immediately. It's clear that when this happens, there is some kind of slowness with the feeds, which is causing the profile page to load slowly.
Unfortunately, the inconsistancy of the behavior will make it difficult to track down. What we'd probably need to do is try to get everyone to jot down the times when they encounter the issue, then you can look at the logs for the times & see if there was heavy traffic or some server issue or whatever.

For me it's pretty much all the time. My profile page have two loading speeds: slow and slower. Right now it's only slow and at least it load without mongo error. Other pages on AP load fast.

I wish there were "Turn Feed OFF" option...

the feed was built to be super scalable so lag issues wouldnt happen - it looks like that was wrong. unfortunately there wont be an easy solution or fix until we get a very skilled mongo developer onboard, cause it's not me.

Yeah, I am talking about how if I log in, and click on my profile link it takes 1-2 minutes to load my page. This isn't an intermittent problem either...it happens every time.

That's odd. For me it's very intermittant. I wonder if the speed issue is related to the frequency of activity in the given feed? My friend feed doesn't see too much activity, so that might explain why I see less of a slowdown from it.
