Hello folks,

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that if you experience a speed problem, it is not caused by BrainKing and not even by you. The site itself is fast as always and the servers show no unusual behavior.

I've made some tests that prove that the problem is in the network, most likely in some nodes of our ISP. When I check the line speed from different parts of the world, it is very variable - from 0.4 (very good) to 4 (slow) seconds. It is usually caused by a packet loss - some data are not fully delivered to your browser, so they are automatically send again etc., which results to a delay.

There is not much we can do about it, except asking the ISP to do something about (which is what we are doing). Anyway, even if BrainKing is probably a little problematic to use for some people, it is still working and usable, although it may take a longer time. I am continuously monitoring the average activity of BrainKing users and it is not as bad as it might look at the first glance.

By the way, the upcoming version of BrainKing will count with such situations and solve them by reducing the amount of transferred data to the least possible minimum. Our implementation of Texas Hold'em Poker is a good example.
