It's worth noting that the new BB system is based on PHPBB, which is a
great system (I use it myself, http://flying.b4.ca) but apparently has
problems with scalability (this is based on hearsay from the 'net, not
personal experience... My user base is a lot smaller than the Matronics
lists).
It's possible that if enough people try accessing the site at the same
time, that you'll see slowdowns. This threshold may be lower for PHPBB
than for some other packages, but PHPBB does have the advantage of being
free, easy to use, and very customizable.

The BBS is running on a dual-processor, Xeon Linux system with 5Gb of RAM so everything is memory resident. Best I can tell at this point, it should probably handle the load pretty well. Let me know if you notice slowdowns. Shocked

I'm also not noticing any slowdowns or performance issues when I'm connected out on the internet (i.e. not locally to the system.) I suspect you might be having an issue with your local Internet connection.
