We still have a couple more
We still have a couple more tricks up our sleeve so there should be more performance improvement in the days ahead. But between now and then the site might act intermittently weird as we try new things.

Thanks Rich, for all your
Thanks Rich, for all your hard work on this site. I’m sure you’re not happy with performance problems and I’m even more sure that the $75/month is the cheap part of it compared to your time and energy.

(and, of course, it’s easy for me to say $75 is “cheap” since I’m not the one paying it!)

Rich, I sure appreciate your hard work to provide such a valuable service to our community. Besides those of us who post regularly, there are many “lurkers”, and we are all benefitting from your generosity. I sure wouldn’t mind making a donation, if there were a way to do so…

That’s very kind to offer.
That’s very kind to offer. Don’t worry about it though — the site pays for itself via advertising. The hosting costs were just mentioned as a point of interest regarding how much readership and site content has grown.

Speaking of which, there may continue to be spotty behavior over the next week or so as we try out various performance optimizations… apologies in advance.

thanks…
