Tracert is how you tell where your connection is being slowed down. It'll check and record up to 40 'hops', which are the intermediate stops your query goes through along the way.
You add all of the numbers up, and that tells you the total time from the time you click your mouse or press enter until you get a signal to where you're trying to go.
I ran the test again this morning when sailnet was basically dead stopped, and the hangup is at incore.dc2.hostmysite.net [67.59.145.19] or hostmysite.net. The signal was getting there in just a few milliseconds. At hostmysite, the timer ran into it's max allowable time which is about two seconds. After the third try, your ISP just gives up.
I just checked it again, and the numbers are similar to the ones above. So...sailnet is sort of off the hook. That being said, sailnet is also rather slow once you're logged in, and my guess is because the server has to search through so many threads. It would probably help if the older threads were put onto a separate RAID system as archives, rather than having a couple hundred 'active' pages. IMHO, anything that is over a month old, and inactive, should be shifted to the archives. It would speed things up enormously.
