Even though bmonday(dot)com is running Win2003 Server, IIS6, the .NET Framework, and SQL2000 all on a Celeron 700 that I bought from TigerDirect for like a buck fiddy, it's surprisingly fast. The only time it slows down is when I'm having trouble contacting the Blogrolling site that dynamically generates the “BlogRoll“ you see on the right hand side of the page.
Frankly, they have been so darned unreliable lately, I've been tempted to vote the Blogroll off the front page. My site slows to a crawl while it waits patiently for the BlogRoll data to come in.
If I didn't use the Blogroll myself to keep track of when there is new content on my favorite sites, I'd have dumped the entire thing a long time ago. I guess I could go back to an RSS reader, but that's so boring.
*sigh* I'll make a decision on Blogrolling by the end of the week.
