Subject: [Coder-Com] server response time is too slow when using LIST
command
> To Whom It is Concern:
>
> I installed ircu2.10.10pl15 server on my linux box (Dell III, 600mHz,
256M), and wrote a small testing code using Java on my windows machine
(pentium III, 1G, 256M). There is a intranet setup. The functions of the
code were basically join a channel, and count how many people are in that
channel, then leave that channel. So I used JOIN, LIST, and PART command.
The testing code did a loop test of 8 channels named c1-c8 (new channels,
never exist before the join). The response time (in second) was as
following:
> c1----1.192
> c2----4.076
> c3----5.097
> c4----6.059
> c5----6.058
> c6----6.059
> c7----6.059
> c8----6.058

> The response time was apparently too slow. I just wonder is this normal,
or I need to turn on some configuration switch, or is there any faster
command I can use instead of LIST, or...?

You probably hit a 'feature'. This is simply an artificial delay in the
LIST data that is sent, to prevent flooding people when they request LIST,
which would otherwise cause them to get disconnected by or from the server
if the list is rather large. Try a requesting a LIST on IRCnet for instance
and you will probably see what I mean. Bahamut uses a similar mechnism,
that goes by the name 'SAFELIST'.
