Super Slow Apache (watch pics load)

[carlwill]

Note how slow my images are loading from my Apache server...
This may not be Apache's fault but I never had this issue with any other distro running apache and I just swapped to FC4 so I thought I would ask...
All my images come up super slow. I am hosting some average sized .JPG's and they are just acting like I am hosting 1280x1024 size.
I am on a cable connection that is 5mb down and 300kb up but am not sure how I am able to increase or speed up my slow loading images.

The 300k up is your limit. I get those in about 7 sec at almost 270 kb/s. That's good. It won't get much faster without more upload bandwidth.

Thanks - I for some reason have better responce with the pics on a Debian Apache machine - strange.

mmm, i'm not sure what you're smoking, but I get about 9 kb/s...

I must have hit a good time when the upload was unused. I still get 170 kbits/sec.

Took me to a count of 14secs to see that first image.

I've noticed the speed issue too though - even on localhost, Apache2 seems slow (on a 512Mb P4 2.8) but only recently, like maybe an Apache yum update has broken something....?

I'm no expert on apache, but try this:

open up firefox on the server and type in 127.0.0.1/<wherever the images are>

This will tell you how fast it is loading without interference from your ISP, and from there you can more accurately diagnose the problem

My OS FC4. Running apache, mysql. apache test page http://localhost is normal loading. But my web http://localhost/myfolder is very slow loading.
Help me.
