PHP/Zend can be a real pig on some things. Then you have DB and other considerations. The base architecture of the typical php-board app can only go so far before you have to come up with a solid, distributed architecture to distribute load while still having everything inter-related.This has been going on for a while. Maybe it is just me but I find the site to be slow a good bit of the time which is why I made the suggestion I did. It seems like there may be more than just hardware problems. :dunno:
