it was strange.... I switched to chrome and everything was running great for like a month and then everything dragged to a crawl. I then switched back to firefox. A couple of weeks later I reinstalled chrome and everything is running great now. I guess chromes programmers had to do something.<br clear="all">

Yesterday, I tried to post this question to plug,<br>

Is there some way to clear memory without shutting down or logging out and<br>
back in?<br></blockquote></div><div>You should never need to "clear memory". There would never, in a linux environment be an instance where "clearing memory" would be required.</div><div>If you are low on swap and your system starts paging, you can add addtional swap, but I doubt that is the issue. We will evaluate after reading the requested info above. </div>

Actually, even when I log out and back in, they are still slower than what<br>
has been normal.<br></blockquote><div> </div></div><div>Is this more than 1 system? </div><div class="im"><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Especially Firefox has become much slower than what has been normal in the<br>

Also, when I tried to check plug threads today, I couldn't get the plug<br>
website to open, though other websites seem to be working fine (albeit<br>
slower than normal).<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I believe we have determined that this was intermittent from some providers and not from others, therefore it's most probably that this was due to a Least Cost Routing issue after a change in the BGP tables, which is regularly done by big providers to take advantage of cheaper bandwidth. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Of course Deru might have lost one of two dual honed upstream providers, whereupon it can take up to 24 hours for all routes to equalize and update.</div><div><br></div><div>Since Deru hosts the DNS and was unreachable, the authoritive servers could not be reached, and mail was therefore also DROPPED for anyone in the outage zones. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We should at the very least obtain free offsite secondary DNS services for the <a href="http://plug.phoenix.az.us" target="_blank">plug.phoenix.az.us</a> DNS, which are available for free.</div></div>
