First, let me appologize for the recent spam to the list.
It was in the queue and I accidently hit "accept".
Next, I'm planning on implementing ElasticStore for the backend instead of SQL. The slowness on the site seems to be database contention and I'm hoping that by switching to ElasticStore, we can eliminate that.
If you have experience with ElasticStore vs the "traditional" SQLStore, I am interested hearing about your experience.
Mark.
