  • Why do pages from bigger threads take longer to load?

    I've noticed this: If this is one of the longer threads, with 9 pages or so, the page will take more to load if it is page 1 of 2 pages - Did anyone else notice this?

    It's especially apparent with the picture thread.

    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

      It's because there are more pages.

        Is it anything to do with rebuilding the thread from the database?

          IIRC spartak is correct.

            wait, so the entire thread is rebuilt from the database? I thought that visualisation were individual posts rebuilt by making a query of posts via a thread ID number, and sorted by time of posting... but I guess that would return the entire thread, too.

              I think the threads are stored like linked lists, so it has to trace through the entire thread to get a particular page.

                if you would like to back the question with exact numbers you can look out for the "Page generated in xxxx seconds" at the bottom of pages

                    Page generated in 0.0686 seconds (79.61% PHP - 20.39% MySQL) with 27 queries
                    Page Loading Time: Please Wait



                    What's the 'page loading time' and why does it always say 'please wait'? Wouldn't that just be the same time as the 'page generated' time?
                    This space is empty... or is it?

                      Page generated Time: the time it has taken for the server to generate the html of the page
                      Page Loading Time: the time it has taken for the page to fully load on your browser along with all images on it

                          Obviously it's the database.

                            wouldn't that make more sense in branching forums?
