Recent performance

I'm not sure if it's just me but I have noticed page loads being much, much less snappy than normal. I don't have any quantifiable records but wondered if anyone else is noticing?

I'd estimate that page loads are about 200% longer minimum lately, starting maybe a week ago?

From looking at page load times it looks like viewforum.php is the bottleneck, taking up an average of ~1s or so. That's not unbearable or anything but it feels much worse than prior.

Wonder if there might be some performance tuning at the db layer since it seems like that's where most of the time comes from.

Some of the file.php calls are not amazingly performant either--some 150-200ms calls to download avatars--but at first glance it doesn't look like those are blocking pageload

Hmmm. That's gotta be cloudflare, since I turned it on right at a week ago.
Interestingly, I'm doing a performance tune-up, and everything outside of the forums has been measuring strictly better.

I've adjusted cloudflare; let me know if that seems better?

First glance it looks better, most forum page loads 350ms or so (which is right in the sweetspot for not impacting human brains lol).
