There's somewhat of a backlog going. Sometimes a bad submission stumbles the judge, and it has to be restarted - making everybody wait.

It's probably a good idea to move on to the next problem, and come back later.

The scores are right now, i did an update.

By server do you mean the judge or the site? I found the site to be noraml excpete for at the very end when it got a bit over loaded.

Everything that has been submitted has been marked. The updated scores should be available on the contest page. Let us know if you spot any inaccuracies.

As tony side, the contest end time only stops you from being able to submit a program. The judge keeps marking and updating till it is out of submisions in the database.

Also since there was an adding bug in the total score, affter the judge finsihed marking everything i ran a script on the database to make it update the tottal scores to the correct amount. The scores you see on the contest page are the final scores now and they will not be changed.

As for the slow judging i am deftaly going to impment methods to make it faster. It has been pointed out to me that if we make the students output all the tests cases in to one file it will vastaly increases the speed rather then runing the program 5 times for 5 diffrent test cases. Also i whont to make a cluster of judges, either on difrent servers or have muptial process of them on the same computer. Right now the judge is just one process runing on a quad core cpu so it is a bit of a wast.

The other thing that slowed down the jusge like tony side above was bad submisons frezing it up and VB6 applications that did nto respoend to the kill message. I will look in to idoit profing the judge a bit and hopfully it will fix up thesses issues.
