There is some maintenance running on the server right now which is impacting load. Should be resolved soon.

Right now it's particularly bad, but the overall experience has been pretty bad
for weeks now. Not just the web forum, but the Wiki as well. CI is also dying
because dlang.org can't serve downloads at times.
As I stated in
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/vndgejrhmqynthwbfksf@forum.dlang.org, most
requests are served in an instant, but there seem to be times where the server
takes 10-60 secs to respond, to the point where it's barely usable. If I have
multiple pending requests during such a period (a couple of browser tabs), all
of them are served at the same time once the server seems to recover.

I'd much rather have a constant delay of a few seconds instead of not-that-infrequent-spikes, those are much more annoying. Of the few websites I use regularly, dlang.org leaves the worst impression performance-wise, by far.

I have noticed this same behavior on the forums and dlang.org, instantaneous response most of the time, but then all of a sudden a 10 second delay for one request.

Is there something to do with the GC running (assuming these are all backed by D code)? That would fit the pattern.

If not, then perhaps there is some networking config issue that is causing the problems.

I silently hoped this wouldn't be the case - if that's the reason, it'd be a prime example where the current GC fails badly.

It's clearly fixed now.
