And is the site really slow lately?? It seems to take forever for pages to load, and I'm not getting that at other sites....

I agree -- load times are often around 15s or more, suggesting that the system is close to congestion collapse. I wrote earlier about caching -- does anyone have any logging information that might reveal the hot spot? (My guess is concurrency problems in the database).
