Hi guys,
I'm excitedly awaiting the latest threads release with the other plebeians, but it's taking 20-50 seconds for the front page to load, and then subsequent movement from one page to the next in the forum is 5-15 seconds. And I'm no dummy with ten pal boxes and all that kinda stuff.

Here are the basic forum stats:

I have a VPS package with LiquidWeb, which honestly hasn't seemed worth the trouble, as most all my sites (I have 7 of varying popularity) rate as "Slow" or "Very Slow" on Alexa.

I ran the stat.php script in another thread on optimizing SQL and got this:

I also get emails like this every three days or so, since forever, from my VPS cpanel:

Well, you hae fine load (86% idle) on at least your allocated resources... could be that the "promised" resources aren't being lived up to... You could try another provider if they'e been giving you a lot of problems; I recommend clients for VPS' over to www.webintellects.com (Even our oown AA is there)

You have a lot of services failing and being restarted.

A few here and there is "normal" but that number, every 3 days, is too many.

I've no idea of they have lived up to what's advertised as I've no idea what you bought.

Did you finish tuning MySQL? Did it help?

I'm still working on it... I removed some things I liked having, such as some links generated by an rss feed from another of our sites and my Amazon affiliates box at the bottom of the page. I also deleted lots of redundant and large files from the server.

As it has done over the last few years, the speed has resolved down to 5-8 seconds of blank page and then everything loads. I never know if it's something I did, something they did or just the random tides of the internet. Sigh!

I will continue to work on optimizing MySQL and my database, and post what happens.

Is there any way to archive old posts so that they are still searchable, but don't figure in the daily default activities of the site's interaction with the database?

There are currently no archival options in UBB.T7; I've been pushing for several over at UBBCentral for a while now... Let's hope Rick has time to revisit the discussion for 7.4.
