Yeah, I'm up to nearly a minute on the main page, and around twenty seconds for forum pages. Gets annoying after a while
Look at whos online. 10 members 100+ guests. Look at the list and the Baidu spider dominates. Can we limit the number of Baidu connections. Its not like we have a plethora of Chinese members. Probably less than 1% of members are Chinese and its taking probably half the bandwidth.
If it were me, id just dump the Baidu spider altogether. In fact, if I could, I would limit it to 10 spiders of any type on a first come first serve basis and 403 the rest.
Last night/early this morning around 1am or so Arizona time I couldn't get on at all. I guess either we were down for maintenance or something between me and the site was completely out?
I was so relieved when I was able to get in just now. For a moment there I thought, "OH NOOOOOO!"

Yesterday Arcana altered some of the cache settings which caused a large portion of the site cache to be rebuilt. That probably explains yesterday's problems, but it should be much better today. How's it looking to everyone? I know my load times seem quicker today.
We are also on a trial on a dedicated mysql server, so some of yesterday's performance issues were related to transferring the database.... all 1.6GB of it...while leaving the site up.

PS: if it's mysql, what table types are you using? This may be too obvious, so my apologies in advance, but if you have MyISAM check carefully what they are used for, because MyISAM only does table locking. I have seen this myself in one situation, if you have say a session table that constantly gets updated, and it's myisam, you'll kill your site with that.
