Site has been shaky in the past few days

This has been because I am trying to walk the fine line between stability and performance. I am also hoping we reach the sweet spot soon. I am tired of trying to fix the same problem over and over again.

Significant performance improvements done to site

We just updated the site to provide a significant performance boost while reducing our costs.

More speed improvements pushed out right now...

Just figured out another way to improve the performance which I know is sometimes tiresome. Hopefully this makes the site much faster than before. If there are any issues those will be fixed later.

Speed problems fixed

I noticed in the past few days that the site was loading very slowly making it an unpleasant experience for browsing it. Yesterday night I have added an extra caching server to the system speeding it up considerably. Still testing the site to verify all is well.

News issue fixed

I think due to the large number of articles we store, since July 4 till today morning the site was not showing any news anwhere. This has been fixed now - it was a windows azure error internally which will not happen again.
