Robots Slow

Today playing an instant tournament the robots became so slow I withdrew during the first board. I switched to Prime and it was the same thing. Painfully slow play and bidding.

I also noticed this during an ACBL MPs tourney a few hours later :(

Apparently even the forum interface was slow at the time too :)

Just happened again near the end of a tourney

 

Managed to use up 5 precious minutes on one hand - painfully slow, then it speeded up. Then slowed down again

 

I am trying to find out where the problem is. Anyone else noticed :)

 

I'm trying to monitor resource use at times it slows. Checking other software, opening and closing things. Is it at our end or yours, or in between

 

I am looking at the pattern of IMPs in my tourney. It appears somehow related to how well I am going. The better you are going the slower the machine becomes until you have been sabotaged enough to speed up again. Maybe that's it :)

 

I think I am leaning towards painfully slow internet between us and you - it seems to slow down other browser intensive pages too :)

I just played in an Instant MP and the robots were taking quite a few seconds for each bid and play.

They did speed up briefly, then slowed again.

There were only 8000+ people playing in there.

On the bright side, I was forced to play much slower than I usually do and was 1st/15.

Maybe this is a hint to you that thinking occasionally when playing bridge can be helpful.
