Terrible typing lag on 1GB Droplet

Posted on April 24, 2014

Is there some sharing algorithm on Digital Ocean that locks up sessions for seconds at a time while logged in over SSH? Here’s my experience: I’m logged in to my 1GB RAM Droplet (Ubuntu 14.04) and I’m setting up services, editing files with vim, etc. I can type in bursts with no lag for maybe 20-30 seconds, then it is completely frozen (not responsive to keystrokes) for 3-5 seconds, then anything I typed while frozen gets all sent at once.

This is extremely annoying, especially if I’m using the backspace key… Is this a know issue or a temporary problem? It doesn’t happen to me with Linode. Thanks
