Anyone else notice that this new server is flying way faster than the old one?

Its faster..

Not as much duct tape on it from several years of abuse and cord-pulling by Mr. Skuzzy.

It does seem more snappy.  Actually went from a dual 850Mhz P3 system with 1GB of RAm, to a Core Duo system with 2GB of RAM.

Over the years, that dual 850MHZ P3 system has been a real workhorse.  At one time it was the Main Arena server.

You bet it's quick. I noticed it as soon as I logged in. I was just complaining earlier that even after building a $3K plus PC with a DSL connection web pages still take forever to load; this page took longer than the others have at 0.446s, I can deal with that any day of the week.

I notice that search doesn't seem to work for me, using the search button (new posts seems to work fine).  Anyone else?  This is on two separate computers.

EDIT: Whoa, and this post is showing above the first post in the thread for me, wicked.
