PoM Performance
Imagine my surprise when I visited Grabperf (like I do daily) and saw Ping-O-Matic in the top 20 fastest sites that they’re tracking. You can view a scatter chart of Ping-O-Matic performance and see it tends be right around .20 total which currently puts us behind BBC and ahead of Google search. Cool. 
I’m not quite done with the performance tweaks yet, but it will probably be mostly on the outgoing ping side of thing, which shouldn’t effect the graphs that much. Once everything is done on the single box, I’ll start the process of replicating it to the other donated hardware. Performance is nice, but availability is more important.

That’s pretty cool, considering the load the service has been heaving in past month or two when usage suddenly shot up & its growing every day if I’m not wrong!! Seems like you’ve put in some magic lube Matt!!

Well, i agree that availability is more important than preformance, but i think that quality is equally as important. if there is good quality than more people will seek out that site. That’s pretty cool that it is one of the top twenty fastest sites that are being tracked. Well there are problems with everything that is just starting, and it will do fine!

Pingomatic is causing two of my WordPress blogs to time out!! Its the only service that’s pinged on an update & if I remove it from the “Writing” options, then the blogs work fine without any problems, but adding Pingomatic to the “Writing” options results in a timeout on the screen. If you see GrabPERF then you’ll see that Pingomatic is currently #1 on the 20 slowest sites list. Any update on this Matt?
