I deleted Adobe and things ran alot better.However I had to reinstall it.
I got a random free version so I could do video.Now the site loads slow again
Have you considered a cashing proxy in front of the main web server? I know a few projects that had the same problems running large database based websites with a lot of hits.
nginx seems to be the solution. It caches sites and pictures that are loaded at a high frequency so the webserver can concentrate on more important stuff.
Nginx is good for static content. Not so good for things as dynamic as this site. You're right though. Under the correct circumstances, nginx is a screamer.
Caching is a good idea though. Perhaps Memcached.
I'll bet there's performance to be had with existing software, if I could only get my hands on their instance of MySQL and Apache. Doh!
You will know when I finally am working on this problem because the first thing I will do is correct the server time! I still have no access, but hopefully soon.
Yeah, the change should make a difference, but I'm not sure it will run faster for everyone, thus the need for some feedback so I can know if there are other unresolved performance issues.
