IS NOT GOOD!

I'm doing some speed tests right now and finding some odd stuff.

We are now set to absolute minimum in resources. 300MB at 15 a month.
Here's what's odd:
The speed of browsing isn't noticeable decreased on my end.

It takes a little longer for posts to be added.

And when I searched I had to kill the process, the site could barely take it.

If resource heavy stuff like search could be minimised we wouldn't need the level of resources we are currently at, we could probably half that.
Obviously disabling it isn't worth while. Pruning stuff would have to be done as regularly as they are done now, but if I put up that backup that shouldn't be an issue.

Most of this is me just thinking out loud, but if anyone has experience optimising php/sql stuff for apache I'd love to hear your input.

Well, back in my day, when we wanted to fix the TV reception, we just beat the top of it with our fists.  Try that.

I am gonna go with "the host sucks".

Nail them with that; they will either upgrade their equipment out of fear of losing their business, or you find a new host.

OK, so we've established that you enjoy hosting it and that enough people have donated to pay for it (I hope)... what now? There have been times when I could have happily paid for whatever you needed, and this is definitely not one of those times.

Nothing, just regular maintenance and a few things to stop the huge server queries. If there is a way to get it to put a process to sleep so others can get in cpu time so the forum doesn't hang, then we can even start saving on the cost.

There is nothing currently wrong with the way pd's server is set up, its just not perfect and thats what can be aimed for.

Maybe it wont be necessary if this works, I want to get onto trip, he's fantastic at this stuff. I'll get back to this later, gonna try out some more stuff.

My dad used to make one of us kids hold the rabbit ears and twist around until we got the best reception. Then we'd have to stay in that position until he was done with his show. You could try that if hitting it with your fist doesn't work.

Also, the boyfriend recommends Sagonet for hosting solutions, if you're looking to switch.

Sometimes wrapping tinfoil around the rabbit ears helps.  Try that too.
