Thanks, Matt. Just in time for the Daylight Savings Time switchover -- an extra hour to spend on MeFi!

Doesn't seem as fast as I'd hoped, especially for a Saturday morning.
Next week will be the real acid test.

Is "lightening" fast like blowing your load? I guess you lose the excess baggage either way.
+10 points for making a joke about lightening vs lightning.

Thank you. The only downside is I used to be able count on the lag time between 'preview' and 'post' to reconsider. I may actually have to think now.
Also, thank you to Mr. Levines magical closet.

Hmm, on second thought, it runs a little too fast. Is there any way to slow it down a bit, Matt?

(strangely, front pages seem to be much slower than threads)
(hmm. on preview, that was slow. i suspect it's just the link from here to the rest of the world).

I miss the smell of old books and cardboard boxes, and the quiet shy apartment talk coming from just oustide the glass-knobbed door. I miss the thrill of fire-walking on her accidental code. I miss our giggling pajama'd flirts with JRun hide-and-seek. I miss her dear old obstinacies.
But soon the smell of hot aluminum tinged with industrial-strength antiseptic, soon the echoing snippets of anonymous IT mercenaries barking through the mantra hum of high-efficiency fans - soon these will characterize the good old days - and I swear I'll find a way to miss them too.

By the way, Opus Dark = David Foster Wallace, a little bit drunk. Trust me.

Well, of course it is. This is the whole Internet, isn't it? At least, the distilled essence of it, anyway. Matt, thank you - this is well-needed and well-appreciated.

Sweet. I gotta say, the front page of MeFi itself doesn't seem super fast, but the comment pages, and all the *Fi derivatives are smokin'.
The JRUN, RUN, RUN... she don't run no more.
I think it actually does. I'm assuming there weren't any structural coding changes, and that the site still runs on ColdFusion, but yeah, it's nice to have enough horsepower to handle the load!
Is MeFi Pro around the corner?

How pathetic am I? Pathetic enough that I was trying to figure out the political reference rather than the l33Tsp43K.

It is moving with the quickness of a frolicking pony!! Old and busted was a 30-40 second lag between each page (from my work computer with time-warner cable). Now from work is like a 2-5 second page load! And comment preview is lickety-split!
Well done, well done, Mr. Matt H. Pony!
