Extremely poor performance to various websites during peak hours - peering issue?

Since approximately 26 Jan 2015, we have been experiencing extremely poor performance to several specific websites during peak hours, 9pm-11pm. Page loads take many minutes (or never complete), etc. Many other sites are perfectly fine, and if I connect to the same sites at the same time through my work VPN, they perform extremly well (under 1sec). There is no correlation between OS or browser and the poor performance (tested on Windows, OSX, Linux) and speedtest typically reports over 80/80.
I've not caught any packet loss using periodic pings. Traceroutes indicate a bunch of different routes being used (I assume this is expected for CDNs), but here's one example of an obviously bad single traceroute:
$ traceroute images.dailykos.com

The sites in question use the Fastly CDN - my theory is that the VZ-Fastly connection is under provisioned or is broken, but I'm out of my depth at this point.

"This is a nationwide peering/routing issue that was intentionally created by Verizon to create congestion and (1) extract priority fees from the likes of Netflix and (2) get customers to subscribe to higher speed tiers. This has been acknowledged by the FCC. Verizon is building new interconnections to remedy the problem, but it will persist for at least another 6 months."

Slow speed during peak hours for over a year

For over a year now my connection speed has slowed during peak hours, at first it would start around 6pm and drop to 5meg or so untill midnight at which point it would go back up to 8meg all night and morning.
As the year has gone on it has gotten worse and worse to the point now where it starts around 2pm and plummits to 1.5-2meg and remains at that till midnight at which point it goes back to 8meg.
I have been trying to get help with this from @BTCare on twitter for serveral months now and have gotten absolutely no where, every time i get the same old "are you on wireless or wired", "try a different router/microfilter", "try another PC", "run a diagnostic test on our speed tester" etc etc and at the end of it they go silent and then when i try and get some kind of update we are back to square one of being told to fill out my details on the website to open a NEW ticket even though i currently have 5 or 6 open tickets for the same **bleep** issue.
So i've come to try my luck here before i throw in the towel and just get rid of the **bleep** line alltogether as it is currently a waste of money.

DSL is being slow during peak hours

I've upgraded my plan to the 7.1mb and during peak hours I've been experiencing slow dsl speeds from around 7pm-12am. My speeds fluctuates between 2-3mb download speed, while the upload speed is unaffected. During morning, and afternoon my speed is solid at 6.5mb download. I never had this issue when I was on my old 3mb plan.
I have called verizon tech support, but that was pointless and waste of time. Wasted one hour on the phone, with the lvl 1 tech who was trying to put the blame on my computer. Anyways here is my stats, and speed test. I have 7500 modem.
This is 100%, congestion on the server during peak, can someone please help resolve this issue so they move me to non congested server. Thank you.

Db6util -rtvt extremely poor performance

Hi all,
I wonder if someone can assist me poor performance on renaming the virtual tables in DB6 post system copy?
We have copied the database back from Production > QA server. Once we have done this, we renamed the tablespaces and now have to rename the virtual tables as per note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1227165
However, each table rename is taking about 10 seconds to complete - with a lot of "Sort" going on. Looking at the SQL statement, it seems to be taking a long time to Sort. I enclose the sort time from the snapshot below of the agent's sort performance and the SQL statements. If anything else might be useful, please let me know.
Can anyone advise me on whether they have faced this issue / how they have resolved or improved the performance? Or is it just that slow?!
Thanks in advance for any assitance,
Total sorts                                = 73
Total sort time (ms)                       = 843903
The 2(?) dyanmic SQl statements executing are:
SELECT TEXT FROM SYSCAT.VIEWS WHERE VIEWSCHEMA = CURRENT SCHEMA AND VALID <> 'Y' AND TEXT LIKE '%TBE00%' WITH UR
SELECT VIEWNAME, TEXT FROM SYSCAT.VIEWS WHERE VIEWSCHEMA = CURRENT SCHEMA AND TEXT LIKE '%--DDL_TABLE%E1P#POOLD%' ORDER BY VIEWNAME WITH UR
Thanks

Hi Frank,
Thank you so much for getting back to me on this so quickly!
We are using DB2 9.7 FP3 for LUW on a HP-UX environment. There is very little CPU usage and no paging at present.
The db6util -v output is:
This is the DB6 (DB2 UDB) utility program for SAP kernel 701.
UNICODE compiled:                YES
compiled for                  64 BIT
patch level                     0004
We have a single instance of -rtvt running and SAP is currently offline.
I believe file system buffering is in place at the HP-UX level.
Placing those statements into EXPLAIN we see the below - I assume the SORTS are here (though they do not seem to increase the cumulative time):
0 SELECT STATEMENT ( Estimated Costs = 1,236E+03 [timerons] ) num_rows tot_cost i/o_cost

I will attempt a REORG and let you know how that performs afterwards.
Many thanks for your suggestions and if anything of the above looks concerning, please let me know!
Thanks

Poor 4g lte in 23024 during peak times

Good evening
Most nights my wife and I experience extreme slowness in the 23024 zip over 4g. We've tested it with several devices spanning two Verizon accounts, so it's unlikely to be a device issue.
Is there something we can do? Is the local tower simply being overworked when everyone is home? Granted I'd love a resolution but simply getting confirmation of the problem would help.
BTW, when I say slow speeds, typically .6 Mbps or less. During non peak times we can see 8 Mbps. We love streaming media but speeds that slow make it painful.
Thanks.

Lasina,
Thanks for getting back to me. I don't know that I had tried that when
specifically having the problem, but will try now:
Galaxy Note 4 - download .66 Mpbs, upload 2.11 Mbps
after restart: download .2.19 Mbps, upload 2.39 Mbps
attempting again w/out restart: download 0.53 Mpbs upload 1.80 Mbps
attempting again w/out restart: download 1.05 Mpbs upload 1.77 Mbps
I've also got a:
Netgear Router MBR-1515
My Wireless Number: +1540....
download: 1.13 Mbps, upload 2.46 Mbps
Results seem pretty sporadic, regardless of restarting. Should I expect a
restart to help?
Any other advice?
Thanks.

SSL Proxy Tunneling - Extremely poor performance on Windows 98

Does anyone know of a solution regarding poor connection speeds when proxy tunneling on windows 98?
Currently initial connections are taking up to 40 seconds!! Which is unacceptable. The same code run on the same network, but under windows 2000 cuts this down dramatically.
I know there are some issues regarding secureRandom, and some people have mentioned performing their own seeding process. However I don't want to go down this road, as it could potentially reduce security.
Any help would be appreciated.

In case anyone is having this same issue:
It appears that SunJVM1.4.1 has a fix in place for this problem, and I can confirm that this has resolved the issue. Not sure why it has not been implemented into the latest JSSE download, and it certainly should be documented somewhere as this would have saved valuable time.
As my current application needs to be run under 1.3.1, I am forced to use 2 versions of the JVM!!!

Extremely poor performance T420s

I'm at my wits end with this, and need suggestions/solutions:
New T420s, 2.5Ghz Core i-5
8 GB Ram
320 GB HD/7200 RPM
Windows 7 Pro - Original install by Lenovo
This computer is so slow!!   The boot is over 2 minutes, things open slow, I have ran virus scan (no issue), I have updated everything, latest drivers, etc.   The Hard drive light is almost always on, and it feels like it's slower than my 2005 Dell laptop.
I suspect one of the problems is the Lenovo Thinkvantage bloat ware.   it's always coming up with messages and offers.
I also have the video card issue where the screen resolution switched to 50hz, which causes me great eye strain.
The battery life is lucky to get 2hrs on a full charge.
The end result is that for a $1500 laptop I am extremely displeased.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to increase performance, short of installing a SSD Drive (my next plan, along with a full clean install without the Lenovo bloatware)

Your Windows Experience benchmark scores are normal for a T420s. However, I don't get the same performance problems that you do. It looks like your slow performance is caused by the disk (given that the HDD light is always on), and we can rule out a failing hard drive because your HDD benchmark score is still normal. I would conclude that there's a process running in the background that's constantly accessing the hard drive and making your computer extremely slow.
I don't suspect the Thinkvantage tools. I have that software installed and it doesn't slow down my computer when I'm not actively using the tools.
First, go into the Windows task manager and look for something that's obviously using a lot of CPU even when the system is idle.
Second, download a copy of Sysinternals Process Monitor and look for a process that's making an inappropriate amount of filesystem access. Using this tool for troubleshooting takes some skill and experience, because even on a normal system, there's a great amount of extraneous activity going on that doesn't actually have a measurable performance impact. It's easy to become misled and believe that the problem is being caused by a particular process that's actually harmless.
Finally, try doing a system restore back to the factory software install. (Although if you say the system is "new", maybe you already restored back to the factory install?)

Extremely poor performance on good machine (dual xeon, Revodrive, SLI etc.)

Hello,
I've looked for answer, read all the articles about making better performance of PS and I still can't solve the problem... I even tried Photoshop CC and the performance was... worse. I measured time it took to open some files or make some of my actions.
Programs performance is so incredible bad, it's not even annoying it is some disaster... sometimes I have to wait more than 10 seconds for response when I'm moving a layer or few seconds when applying some very simple transformations to smart object (logo etc.). I spent a lot of money on my workstation hoping it will work smooth and fine, and it seems that it is working worse than my old machine for 1/10 of its price. I hoped that moving to Cloud will solve the problem and the new software understands better new hardware I own, but NO! as I mentioned it is working even slower.
The problem only affects Photoshop and Illustrator, After Effects run perfectly fast... but I work mostly on Photoshop and Illustrator. Most of the time both programs are opened.
Some more hardware details of my workstation:
Dual Xeon 2630 @ 2.3 GHz
32 GB Ram
System Drive: PCI-E Revodrive 3 x2 240 GB
Storage Drive: 3GB WD
Graphic Card: 2x GF GTX 680 in SLI (2GB memory each)
System: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
Adobe Suite CS 6 Master
I keep to all advices from "Photoshop performance" articles. I tried another SSD drive as scratch drive, all drivers are up to date, system is "fresh installed" without any garbage...
I'll really apreciate any good advice that could help me solve the problem, so I'll be able to work normal. Without lost hours on waiting for the simpliest actions.

I just to reinstalled drivers and NOTHING... (Latest nVidia drivers clean install)... I also looked on my resources manager and after few munutes photoshop easly uses more than 50% of avaiable RAM... when I'M working procesor usage is about 5-9% (12% was maximum) and when I run also Adobe Illustrator memory usage goes above 60% but cpu usage is still low (5-7%). I have 32GB of memory... PSD file I work on is 750MB... Maybe there is some issue with my memory, buffer or something like this? Any idea?
When I copy 1920x1080px layer from one program to the other it takes few minutes, and sometimes programes crush... even if I'm not working the memory usage is now above 60% - shouldn't it go down?
oth Photoshop and files I work on are on the same drive (PCI-E SSD OCZ RevoDrive 3x2 - so it shoulb be super-fast...).
Sorry for bad spellings - I'm so angry now!!!
HELP PLEASE!

Glitchy and extremely poor performance with Red footage in AE on 16 core machine

Hello,
I have set up a new Windows 7 workstation for AE CS6 based on:
- ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS with dual Xeons,
- 64Gb. of RAM
- Nvidia Quadro K5000 (also tried my older Quadro 4000 with no difference in results)
- Nvidia GTX 680 (mainly for DaVinci)
- BMD DeckLink SDI
- AE 11.0.2.12 with the latest updates.
- The source footage is sitting on two SSD drives that are raided together.
The problem is that it is exceptionally slow and glitchy when loading Redcode to the viewer and into Neat Video. Whenever I try to load a clip or reposition the cursor, the UI locks and starts flickering - meaning the entire AE UI starts disappearing and reappearing really quickly, so you can see whatever is on the desktop behind appear and disappear. The AE icon in the taskbar also starts flickering. if I click anywhere on the taskbar, AE stops the flickering for a while, though generally after a bit it starts again, until it's finally done rendering the frame and everything goes back to normal. It does better if I set it to 1/4 resolution of course, but that's not particularly useful since I need to be able to feed a full definition frame to Neat Video to set the parameters. Occasionally it actually fails to render the frame and then Neat Video complains.
This is extremely problematic because this was supposed to be an upgrade from my preexisting quad core i7 machine with 16Gb. with HDDs instead of SSDs. Running the same version of AE, that machine works properly and actually vastly outperforms this much more powerful workstation when getting the previews ready from 4K Redcode, so something is clearly not working out on this new installation.
I have spent a significant amount of time investigating the issue, but I'm not getting anywhere. Some of the things I tried:
- Updated BIOS and all display drivers
- Trashed preferences
- Disconnected everything except the disk drives, Quadro and the RME RayDAT audio interface, made a new Windows 7 installation with just Adobe Master Collection and the audio drivers - no extra AE plugins or other drivers. Same behavior, even after disconnecting the RME.
- Tried the latest redimporter from Adobe Labs, made no difference.
- Enabled and disabled multiprocessing
There is a single post from about 2008 in the forum where someone described the same UI flickering. In that case, Logictech SetPoint turned out to be the app that was interfering, but I don't have it installed. Right now it seems like there is something else that's interfering with the redimporter, or else there is a problem running this on the ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS, which I find hard to believe because from the forums it seems like there are a number of people who have also bought this motherboard for an AE platform.
If anyone has good ideas about what might be going on with this problem, or can validate that they have been able to get a good Z9PE-D8 installation running AE to process Redcode, please advise while I keep trying.
Best regards, and thank you in advance.

The workstation has a 1000W PSU and only the Quadro is taxed since it's the main display interface. The GTX680, I believe, is completely idle while AE loads a Redcode frame. According to my calculations, the power consumption should top out at about 850W if the system were really loaded down, which it isn't in this case. I nevertheless tried removing the 680 from the system and it didn't help.
I should restate that it's not the whole screen that flickers - it's the AE user interface. The rest of the desktop is just fine, and in fact if I want I can operate the browser or other apps without a problem even as AE is choking. It's AE that's having a hard time.
The drivers are all the latest from Nvidia, as I stated originally - one install for the Quadro and one for the GTX. I disabled all the stereo vision Nvidia services in service manager.

Extremely poor performance iMac 2013

My 2011 27 Imac quit working two months out of warranty and I couldn't get anyone to stand behind it. I had no option but to buy another right then because I make my living with it. I haven't been happy at all with how long it takes to boot, for the desktop to come up, being able to start a program or shutting down. Apple decided last fall to cover the problem outside of warranty for the 2011 27in Imacs (yes!) that had the AMD video card problem. Mine just got repaired and is sitting next to my 2013 as I type this. The 2011 has the 3.1 cpu and the 2013 has a 3.2. They are both running 32 gig of ram. I shut them both down and restarted them at the same time to compare the speed. The just repaired 2011 takes about 1 minute 4 seconds before the desktop is visible and I can start Safari. On the 2013 Imac, it takes almost 8 minutes. (I can make a full pot of coffee in that same time )This time is reduced just a hair if I sign in using the "guest user" account.
I've tried a few things found all over this message board and nothing helps me. I have hidden startup programs, unplugged my usb devices, taken it off the network. Just no positive results.
I am half tempted to keep the older Imac in service and get rid of the newer one because it is absolutely frustrating.
Can any of you possibly look at a log file or something for me and help me figure out why this thing crawls like this? I would sure appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply and taking a look at this for me:

Extremely poor performance of PreparedStatements in 10g

I have experienced a problem where running a sql query as a prepared statement causes the query to take many times longer to run than running the same query as a regular sql statement. I have included an example and sample results. This occurs with any version of Java 1.4/1.5 and Oracle JDBC drivers 9 through 11g. This is not the only query that elicits this behavior, but it is one of the more consistent. Some of the queries are more intermittent in their performance patterns.
Sample Output from Test Client:
Running Query 1
Running Query 2
Running Query 3
Regular SQL Statement: 34766ms
Prepared Statement With NO Variables: 19016ms
Prepared Statement With Variables: 574149ms
Test Client
public class JDBCTest {
     String preparedSql = ""; // omitted
     String regularSql = ""; // omitted, same as above with parameters populated
     public JDBCTest() {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          JDBCTest tester = new JDBCTest();
          tester.run();
     public void run() throws Exception {
          Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
          Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@OMITTED",
                    username, password);
          PreparedStatement pStat = conn.prepareStatement(preparedSql);
          PreparedStatement pStat2 = conn.prepareStatement(regularSql);
          Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
          pStat.setInt(1, 613441);
          pStat.setInt(2, 833820);
          pStat.setInt(3, 34);
          pStat.setInt(4, -1);
          long time0 = System.currentTimeMillis();
          System.out.println("Running Query 1");
          ResultSet rs = stat.executeQuery(regularSql);
          rs.close();
          stat.close();
          long time1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
          System.out.println("Running Query 2");
          rs = pStat2.executeQuery();
          rs.close();
          pStat2.close();
          long time2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
          System.out.println("Running Query 3");
          rs = pStat.executeQuery();
          rs.close();
          pStat.close();
          long time3 = System.currentTimeMillis();
          conn.close();
          System.out.println("Regular SQL Statement: " + (time1-time0) + "ms");
          System.out.println("Prepared Statement With NO Variables: " + (time2 - time1) + "ms");
          System.out.println("Prepared Statement With Variables: " + (time3 - time2) + "ms");

fixed some typos

Here's why:
String preparedSql = ""; // better SQL omitted
String regularSql = ""; // same omitted, same as above with parameters populated
hahah I crack myself up!
To help you, we would need to see the SQL,
and know the DDL for whatever the SQL is
touching. Then we could try to duplicate it.
I can hazard a guess that the numeric columns
that get the parameter values do not match well
with Java ints.
Try using setBigDecimal() for your parameter-
setting, even for your little values.

Extremely poor performance on Seagate USB 3.0 External Hard Drive?

Hi,
I just recently bought a Macbook Pro Retina. I have a larger than normal iTunes library so I decided a external hard drive was in order. I wanted a Thunderbold one but they were all out of my price range. So I went with a 1tb Seagate USB 3.0 drive. The problem is though is that it has terrible performance! I mean hours to copy a few hundred megabytes and almost unusable when running iTunes. I do keep the iTunes library file on the extermal hard drive. Could that be it? I am running a disk speed test right now and will post the results when I finish.
Cheers
Frank

is it a 2.5" hd. or a 3.5". drive.........????
air cannot power a 3.5"
also. does the hd have a junker hd enclosure??
did you have a hd that. you bought a hd enclosure for??.
if so. THAT is the problem. allllll commercial ( nearly all) are utter junk and cause this issue.
they have junk SATA connector boards

EXTREMELY poor performance on n200 notebook

My n200 laptop takes about 7 minutes to boot up, in addition it continuously freezes up. Under the Windows tools, I checked the hardware performance and the results show that there is excess paging on the hard disk. I was wondering if anyone else is having these problems? Have received no help so far..

Sorry for tone - it was for those who only post questions and not responding for mine as I was trying to get information.
So my guess was related to the corrupted driver of disc controller. Could be found in device manager. if at any tab there's an "PIO" mode (PIO-4/3/2/1), then delete this device and reboot. The problem'll be fixed.
Otherwise your laptop's slow work can be affected by fragmentation, great number of unnecessary autorun progs or viruses. So defrag, check autorun (be carefull with items marked by Microsoft - not recommended to switch off) and viruses. Report if it helped.
Also check for CPU speed - therewere reports somewhare for unexpected CPU speed lost affected by unlnown reasons (the owner got his laptop replaced finally).
Also empty recycle bin, temp folder and internet tmp folder (CCleaner is helpful) and delete restore points if no need in them.

Extremely poor Performance on OAS 10g 9.0.4.0.0 and Oracle DBMS 8.1.7.4.0

Hi everyboy,
after hours of reading and searching on the Web for our problem, i somebody can help me on my quite strange issue.
We have installed a 3rd-Party Webapplication on our server. This is a 2-CPU Linux System with 4GB RAM, so that the Hardware should not be the Bottleneck (correct me if I'm wrong). Both, the Oracle AS (9.0.4.0.0) and the Oracle DBMS (8.1.7.4.0) are running one the same machine.
The strange thing is, a data-import process (to the 3rd-Party App) takes more than 4 hours to complete. So we tried to move the DBMS (same version) to another server, so that DBMS and AS are not on the same machine, but the process took still over 4 hours to complete. The CPU-Usage stays in both scenarios quite low (approx. 30-50% CPU-Coverage).
Finally we changed the AS from Oracle AS 9.0.4.0.0 to Tomcat 5 as the 3rd-Party App supports both Application-Servers. Well, this time the process just took about 20 Minutes for exactly the same amount of data!
I don't know how the problem exactly could be solved and i do hope that somebody has a solution or just a hint to solving the problem.
Thanks in Advance.

Martin Brandt

Hi Martin.
So, as far as i understood is the step where data is loaded into database that is taking too long ?
Wich one of these is your cenario ??
Cenario 1
Step 1) Export product data as CSV fike
Step 2) 3rd party app parses data (some processing is done in CSV file) generating another (or overwritting the original) CSV file
Step 3) CSV file generated in step 2 is pushed to database using sqlloadr
Step 4) Some pos-loading transformation is done
Cenario 2
Step 1) Export product data as CSV fike
Step 2) CSV file is loaded into database using SqlLoader
Step 3) After sqlloader is finish, some post-load processing is done
Step 4) 3dr party transformation is done
I think your problem can be in loading that data into database.
Is the CSV file big?
you can fasten sqlloader using direct-mode, destination tables can be in nologging mode (faster) and with the right space allocated (avoiding segment alocattion overhead)
